My 35 yr old son recently had an emergency appendectomy on 4/3/07. Every since he has ran a low grade temp along with the bottom of his feet being blood red,swollen ankles, knees & elbow joints. He had some blood test ran & his sed level was up. They told him to take ibuprofen. Now the office of the doctor that did his surgery has called & informed him his CT scan from earlier showed a spot on his lungs but wait for 3 months & recheck it. Is there some possible relation to all of these things. Would you please give us some feed back on this & does he need to be more aggressive with the spot on his lungs.
