Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has just been diagnosed with some type of auto immune disease but the dr hasn t done a colonoscopy yet. Can you tell me what it sounds like to you given he has pain in most of his joints? He has had, several years ago, a stomach infection with severe pain. The dr has ruled out any type of arthritis. Thank you.
Hi .welcome to "Ask A Doctor service". I have read your question and here is my advice if there is arthritis , pain in the joint in assossiation with bowel probelm may be IBD , inflator bowel disease. howe'veryou have not mentioned if he has any bowel problems like pain abdomen or loose motions. and also that why he has to do colonscopy ? some times arthritis may be assossiated with viral infection however you have provided very limited data to better understand the whole scenario . Hopes I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this. Kind Regards Dr Rahman
