I have constant stabbing body pain that started about a month ago. I am 23 years old, male, and currently taking prescribed neproxin. I have no small joint pains, but some knee pain, no stiffness, no rashes, no fever, and I had a cough and an inflated throat. I also experience morning stiffness and have no family history of any disease. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I have been experiencing unusual biological samples coming out of my body, including a dead creature that looks like a freakish goldfish with tiny legs. I need to know how to properly preserve and transport this sample to a professional for diagnosis without it dissolving or deteriorating. Additionally, I am concerned about my own health as I have symptoms such as facial discoloration and internal abnormalities that no one seems to take seriously. What should I do to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment?
