What Causes Pain And Swelling With Restricted Movement In Hands Along With Dizziness?

I was bitten by a tick on May 30th when a dog died in my arms. It remained on my upper thigh just below groin until June 9th when I decided that it was in fact a tick and used vaseline to remove it. I was tested for Lyme s and do not have it. BUT since I was bitten, I have a problem with pain and swelling on my hands, fingers, and toes. Also, there is now blood at the surface of my stools and I have had dizziness and restriction of movement of arms. I also get tired and I am still having hot flashes.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is infection and this is being suspected then it is better to get done the clinical examination and may need some investigations, till then symptomatic medicine can be taken, some time the symptoms could be due to some functional disorders, hope this information helps, take care, and have a nice day.
