No weakness or dizziness but my feet are ice cold and pale.  Im 42 and female. I do not have insurance and am not working so its extremely difficult for me to.get checked out. Please advise.  I know Im not drinking enough.water.
Hi ! From your history, it seems that you have diverticulosis of the colon which caused you sharp pain due to getting inflamed and the lot of gurgling in your abdomen could be due to the irritation caused by the infection. The frank red bloody stool also goes in favor of it. Even if there is no weakness or dizziness, the ice-cold pale feet are evidence for a good amount of blood loss from the body. Immaterial of the status of insurance, I would advise you to go to a gastroenterologist for a preliminary colonoscopy which can exclude many other conditions with rectal bleeding like the one you have which may need immediate attention. Wishing you an early recovery.
