What Is Causing Black Stool, Muscle Dystraphy And Nerve Pain?

good evening doctor, My father is having some real problems and doctors where he is from is not able to find anything and he is only getting worse. It started back around first of january with bad gas bloating which caused him not to sleep at night. we are now into may and had multiple test that kept coming up negative. Recently gastoural intestinal doctor did a test that found bacteria in his bowel apologize for spelling was put on drug that was working and killing bacteria, he was felling much better last week, only was given a week supply, so been off for two weeks now. Well now we have all more systems, black stool, muscle dystraphy, nerve pain in hands were he cannot even shake a persons hand, we are becoming very scared and having difficult getting into doctors offices. I would personally find a facility that would keep me and take test to scan for cancers, virsus etc and need help trying to find someone who can help. They live in Pinehurst, NC and appreciate any assistance

I FEEL YOUR FATHER WAS STARTED ON ANTIBIOTIC FOR COMMON ENTERIC PATHOGEN. CERTAIN DRUGS CAN LEAD TO BLACK STOOLS, MUSCLE DYSTROPHY . YOU DIDN'T MENTION WHAT TEST YOU HAVE UNDERGONE. BUT IN CASE HE IS SUFFERING MUCH PLEASE VISIT YOUR GASTROINTESTINAL DOCTOR AGAIN.
DON'T WORRY AND GOOD LUCK.
