Frequent Stool, Dizziness & Joint Pain
History: Fissure surgery in 2020. Increased bowel frequency started in 2021.
Symptoms: Recurrent head rotation/dizziness, body weakness, and joint pain occurring alongside frequent toilet visits.
Tests Done:
Neurologist: Brain MRI (Normal)
Gastroenterologist: Colonoscopy (Normal)
Blood Work: Vitamin B deficiency (Treated, now normal)
Core Concern:
I saw the Neurologist and Gastroenterologist separately. Each evaluated only their own area without visibility into the other's domain or my joint pain. I still lack a unified diagnosis for why these symptoms interact together.
Questions:
1 What underlying cause or systemic link do you suspect connects frequent bowel movements, lightheadedness, and joint pain when MRI and colonoscopy are normal?
2 Could post-fissure surgery changes play a role?
3 Which specialist (e.g., Senior Internal Medicine or Rheumatology) should I consult next?

May be you need an upper git endoscopy to rule out small intestinal pathology.the recurrent diarrhea with fliuid and electrolyte loss can cause dizziness and weakness and secondary arthritis .also do cbc crp and ESR.and uric acid
If these are high see a rheumatologist. colonoscopy detects only large intestinal pathology.
