I also recently developed muscle and joint pain, particularly in my knees, hips, and muscles of the legs which is quite severe. I have
no solid stools at all - just water. I have
no appetite. I also find that if I fast and drink nothing but water for a day or so, I still have gurgling and numerous watery bowel movements the next day. I also sometimes have severe epigastric pain, not relieved by antacids or PPIs.
1. Rheumatology workup was negative - sed rate, ANA, RF, etc.
