Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of your suffering from diarrhea and extreme abdominal pain and stomach cramps for almost 8 weeks - high red blood cells, raised inflammatory levels, lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks, have lumps under the skin of shins and swollen hands and feet with painful elbows.
All these factors indicate an inflammatory bowel disease with its complications.
I would advise you the following:
Consult a Gastroenterologist, get investigated for blood, thyroid and liver functions, urine and stool including culture and sensitivity .
Ultrasonography of the whole abdomen.
Colonoscopy.
All these will give a proper diagnosis and gives proper plan of treatment to be followed strictly.
I find this answer helpful
