What could it be?....also for the past couple of nights my right leg has been feeling a little numb in the middle i wake up because of it. my feet look a little swollen and a little bruised but when i feel it i have no pain what could it be???
Hello Welcome the Chat Doctor, Brief.you may need colonoscopy and rheumatoid factor level. Detail...since large colon symptoms with swelling of joints (ankle or knee) could be because of rheumatoid disease. It can also be only irritable bowl syn Chat Doctor. . My opinion would be got colonoscopy done and discuss with gastroenterologist and rheumatologist for evaluation of your symptoms. You may further ask regarding reports without any hesitation.
