Welcome to HCM!

Well, there appears no correlation between swollen ankles &
your other symptoms.
Stop taking clarithromycin, if you are having allergic reaction to it.

Do stool (R & M) examination to look for the causative factor.
Also do ultrasound of the whole abdomen & CBC.
You haven't mentioned your age, urinary complaints if any..

Till the reports come, you may take antispasmodics, analgesics, stool softeners with your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of fluids..preferably Oral Re-hydration Solution.

Wish you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards.
Thanks!
