I had a colonoscopy due to persistent right lower abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, blood and mucus in stool, low-grade fever, and rectal pressure. The pathology report showed chronic ulcers with mild inflammatory infiltrate, architectural distortion, focal erosion, mucosal fibrosis, and reactive epithelium in the sigmoid colon. My doctor initially thought it was an infection, but I continue to have symptoms despite taking antibiotics. What other diagnoses could be supported by this report, and does it sound consistent with an infection?

I have been experiencing throbbing calf pain in my left calf, which first occurred while sleeping in the mountains and has returned after starting a workout regimen. There is no swelling, bruising, or warmth to the touch, and the pain is mostly at rest and while sleeping. I also have a knee injury but believe the calf pain is unrelated. What could be causing this pain, and what should I do about it?
