Though long please read it all it is very important.
I've got several problems and this is probably going to be pretty long. But I feel as if it's important to share all of this because I am not sure what it could be. I have read over the years (about different things on the net) where people always say "consult your doctor" or something similar to that. However I want to point out something before I start. And I am not trying to be rude here. When I hear a doctor say or even a non doctor say "go in to see your doctor/ Come in I don't do consults over the phone/internet" and or "don't self diagnosis" and then go in the Doctor (at least the doctors I have seen and or heard others I know talk about) most of the time will berate me/other people for not using such and such at home, yet tell people not to self diagnosis and that they must come in (spend money) in order to get a diagnosis. It seems completely contradictory to me. Anyway I know I need to go see my doctor however I want to see if there is anyone out there that can give any information. 2+ heads are better than one.
Here is my issue. I am 31 I am 267Lbs right now (lost about 30 in a year and a couple months) and I haven't done any hard physical labor since I left my job back in 2013. I started last year in February of 2016 working out with Jade Teta (look him up) and I have been increasing how far I walk slowly over time.
Well this last end of may 2017 I had my first hard labor for 4 hours. I did shoveling for about 2 and a half hours of dirt and a little rock. And then weeded for an hour and a half. I admit I didn't drink enough water that day and such. I didn't feel anything different until I went home. 6 hours after the event I ended up gaining a fever out of no where and it was the only symptom along with excessive chill! My fever up and down for 10 hours then went away. It went from 99 degrees - 101 degrees. Then went away. So I did my normal routine. And by the way I had stopped working out with Jade Teta's program for a few months by now because I have been getting busy doing things and that was in the way. So all I have been doing is increasing my walking at this point (at this point it was 5,500 steps a day - 6,500 No I am not disabled). The next week I had to drive from where I live 260 miles in one sitting with my wife to a few days family event. After a few days I drove back in the middle of the evening strait shot home (lots of tension building physically) Well 2 and a half weeks later I start getting these strange pains, and I hadn't done any more physical labor like explained again. Here is a list:
Keep in mind all I was doing was walking for exercise at the time (just a reminder). 1) Pain in the AC part of my left shoulder for about ten to fifteen seconds. Then it would go away. This would then appear in the exact same place on my right should in it's AC join area as well. Accept it had an additional muscle pain in my right bicep down to my elbow (just above it) and a little in the right tricep. (this has 98% went away) Pain: 1
2) Discomfort in my clavicles felt like it was surface and muscular. This accompanied #1 but not always at the same time #1 flared up on either the right or left shoulder. Pain: not even a 1
3) Discomfort at the bottom of my rib cage that would jump from left to right. Always felt muscular. Pain: not even a 1
4) My resting heart rate slowly over a week dropped from 76 (usually in the low 70s to high 60s) to 62. I've been wearing my fitbit blaze for over a year and it's never dropped this low. And it also felt like my heart was doing something strange. Pain: 0
5) Perhaps the strangest symptom of them all. At this time mid June I decided to start doing 5 mile walks every day (roughly 10,700 steps for me). And i have been doing them pretty regularly, not always hitting it my goal (I think I could hit it easily right now but I have been lazy lately....). Well when I was walking all of these symptoms would go away. If I kept moving I would feel fine!!!! Also if I would stand up too. Pain: 0
6) Around the first week after I worked like I hadent for a couple years. I had a very large painful bowl movement and it ended up aggravating something! Either a Hemorrhoid or a Anal Fissure or my ?prostate?. I didn't go in to get this checked. I did have blood on the toilet paper but there was none on the stool. In addition to this I have had off and on again pressure discomfort that moves around from right to left in my "colon" area. This seems to be coming more and frequent slowly over time since the end of May. More on this later. (yes seriously) Pain: 3 (for the hemorrhoid or whatever it is discomfort)(when it happened then decreased)
The first four things alarmed me for a couple of days. I thought it was my heart. After a few days went by a few new symptoms appeared!!!
7) So symptom #1 changed to only being on the right side shoulder in the AC area, bicep and tricep and decreased how often it was happening. Pain: 1 (more a discomfort than what I would call "PAIN")
8) I was going to sleep and I woke myself up by my neck "popping" very loudly and it hurt too. I saw "white light" when it woke me up for a split second, I went back to bed a few moments later. After I woke up in the morning my Rhomboid (which was injured several years ago and healed (just a micro tare I think it was)) and my Trapezius on my right side got incredibly painful and sore all of a sudden. It was hard to turn my neck to my right. But I could turn it left. This accompanied #6 for about a week. Pain: initial 2 afterward 3
9) At this point my anal fissure, hemorrhoid, ?prostate" bleeding had happened maybe 3 or 4 times but always on the toilet paper. And the pain continued to grow ever so slowly over the last month up until about oh a week and a half ago from today (7/18/2017). But the symptom here at this point in the explanatory question is that when I would walk around the pain would be darn near non existent to literally not there. But when I would sit it would be like a .5 on the pain scale. And if I sat for a long period of time it would go up to almost a 1. And I would feel these "deep" almost "twitch" like feelings in my anus. That was probably a 1 on the scale of pain. The Trapezius hurt worse than this pain. Also this pain would hurt every time I would have a bowl movement. I had my wife look down there and there never was any discoloration or anything hanging out and nothing ever did hang out of my anus. Yes would always say it looked normal to her. A strange thing about this though is that everytime it would flare up I would feel this strange feeling in the area just under where my scrotum is (The Perineal, look it up if you want). It was never painful but it was like something in the back of my mind. Couldn't put my finger on it.
10) About three or four days after the Trapezius/ Rhomboid problem I woke one morning and the pain was about 80% gone all of a sudden but a new symptom popped up. My left "love handle" area on my back (not side) was really really really sore. it wasn't as bad a feeling as my Trapezius/ Rhomboid had been but it was strange. And it felt like surface/ muscle soreness. This went away after about 45 minutes. But peaked up throughout the day in a less discomforting way.
So the next day after #10 I called my doctor to see if it was my heart or not. The nurse said that if I think it's my heart I need to go to the ER. And I also set up an appointment to see if I could get this figured out. So after the phone call I went right over to Urgent Care since my appointment was like 2 or 3 days away. I tried to tell the doctor there everything I have told you guys here accept for the Hemorrhoid/ anal tare/ ?prostate? part. He sadly didn't want to listen to everything and kept saying after about a minute "okay.." "okay" more and more often. He did a few things and told me he doesn't believe it's my heart. And prescribed me with Tizanidine a muscle relaxer. I took it and WHOA it knocked me on my butt. I don't usually use medications. My heart dropped to 55-62 and my blood pressure went from 150/80 to 116/78 (my blood pressure usually is 120 -133/ 78) but the pain from #7 was still there (not as bad). This made the things in #3 seem to increase. I only took this three time despite him prescribing me 30 pills. I didn't like how it made me feel. So I stopped taking them.
After a few days I finally got to see my doctor and he said he doesn't believe it was my heart either and told me that I have to take it easy before I get back into my full body work outs. Start slow and slowly increase to what I was doing before. He also said call him in 2 weeks if the symptoms haven't gotten any better.
11) After #10 my Trapezius/ Rhomboid on my right acted up again. But not as intense and the left "love handle" discomfort disappeared. I chocked it up to the use of the tizanidine may have aggravated my liver or my kidneys. This whole time though I've been looking on the net for some answers and at this point in the explanatory question story I'd been finding information that was partially fitting possibly my gallbladder having issues. To note my doctor after (I think I may have annoyed him) said he was more stumped as my symptoms (the ones I got to tell him anyway) than anything else.
12) Now (and keep in mind I haven't been taking the muscle relaxer any more) a few days later my right side "kidney area" was sore almost as bad as the left side incident and it took decreased the trapezius/ rhomboid musclular pain as well as my right shoulder pain.
So a few days after this at the end of June this year 2017 my trapezius/ rhomboid is about 80% better and my shoulder is still having the issue like in #2 accept localized to only the right side. So I decide on July 2nd 2017 that I can do my work out like I used to. And this is what happened. And by this time my Hemorrhoid/ Anal Fissure (tare)/ ?Prostate? is starting to calm down now. But still has that deep pain I described back in #9 but not as often as the start. And I have stared to use at the time a Kosher Organic Hemorrhoid drops application thing (yes Drops not Cream) (can't name brand names). And it was worlds better. At this point too I'd started to notice (before the drops) that it almost felt like sand paper down below when I had a bowl movement and the blood was coming from the wall of my butt cheek (left one) right next to the anal opening rather than coming from the anus. My wife still said she didn't see anything.
13) Adding to #12 the next day my legs are probably a 5 or 6 on the pain scale in my thighs. My back was surprisingly not in that much pain at all. So I stopped doing the exercise again because I could barely walk.
14) The next two days I had family down and could barely do anything but pushed through it which seemed to help quite a bit. I have been sparingly taking ibuprofen (I think by today the 18ths of July 2017 I've used maybe a total of 20 pills since the end of May). My back pain has all but subsided. And I end up going to work on a lite duty job.... washing chairs for 8 hours. This didn't re irritate my back but ended up causing this stuff.
15) Remember my "love handle" discomforts in #10 and the jumping discomfort in #6? Well after I went to work last week July 12th 2017 washing those chairs. Ever since I have had this off and on again discomfort randomly through the day in my Abdomen and my love handles areas. Pain 0 just discomfort
16) If I push in right under my right shoulder blade at the end of my rib cage on my back (I think that is where the kidney is) it's "sore" after I let go for about 15 seconds. But if I do it on my left side it's fine. Pain: point 2 (not even a 1)
17) So I've been having this "Hemorrhoid" or "Anal Fissure" or "?Prostate?" problem as I have been describing for about almost 2 months now. And has definitely 97% cleared up. . . . . at least the blood and pain has. You're probably wondering why I put the prostate in there. Well there is something new now. That strange feeling that would flare up when my anus hurt that was in my Perineal has gone away about 98% however now my penis in the head and the end of the shaft part just before the head feels like it's "vibrating" just before I need to urinate and just after. It almost feels like something is "filling up" without being filled up. Like imagine if you were pouring water into a thing with water in it already. How that might feel inside your body kind of thing. And yesterday on the 17th at around 4 pm when I went to urinate it hurt inside my penis shaft for about I'd say 2 seconds. It felt like I was spraying to fast and too much for a moment. After this happened my kidney pain, my back pain and most of the other symptoms that I have been describing here 100% cleared up!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just like when I walk around......
However as of today the 18th of July 2017 here is where I am at 1) Right shoulder doesn't really hurt any more. My trapezium and my Rhomboid on my right side are like 99.99999% better. My neck no longer hurts.
2) The hemorrhoid pain is 99% gone. Yet today when I went to the bathroom my stool is still slightly dry feeling (happened twice in the last 3 days. Yet most of the time now it's like my normal stool). After this bowl movement my anus was very dry and it ended up bleeding on the anus surface and the butt cheek walls near the anus from wiping. (just spots of blood not a streak, as I wiped more to see where it was coming from it got dryer and started to bleed more but only in spots. No pain but the hemorrhoid drops stung! (haven't used them in days maybe a week))
3) My right side lower colon feels like it has pressure in it for the last 2 days. And it sometimes moves to the left side near where my Sigmund colon would be (I think???). Sometimes it's at the top of my colon area. If I were to describe it, It almost feels like a light dry burning sensation mixed with mild pressure.
4) Going pee has only hurt 2 times so far. Once yesterday and once today.
5) My discomfort seems to have all migrated down into my lower bowls area and to my bladder area. And once again all of these (accept the vibrating feeling) go away when I am standing and or walking.
6) When I poop I feel this "spot" inside that feels "off" but not as bad as it was a month ago or even 2 weeks ago.
I say discomfort because it's not really what I would call "pain". However it's discomfort because I don't have these things normally. Usually I feel "nothing." and feel "normal" with not a trace of any pain, discomfort or negative whatever.
So if you made it through all of that and you recognize this then What is going on with me???? It would help if you have medical experience or have had this yourself and what not. Links would be greatly appreciated. And I know before you even say it "go see your doctor". I already have an appointment tomorrow. But in the chances he doesn't know what this is I'd appreciate it if you guys could give it a try. "yes yes we don't make diagnosis without seeing you in person." but you know most of the time Doctors don't "check" and only listen to information face to face. So I think this information will do.

After going to my doctor he said after looking there is no evidence of hemorrhoid or fissure. However he did not look inside he only looked on the outside for about 3 to 5 seconds. He did a urine sample and there is no UTI. He was suggesting that I could have a pinched nerve in my lower back. He also said if there is cancer that it doesn't matter if he catches it aggressively fast or not. It will not change how someone lives in the short term or long term. And that it doesn't matter if he catches it now or in 4 to 6 months because if someones going to die they will die from it. Cancer is either slow growing or incredibly quick. Doctors don't heal people they treat symptoms and the body heals itself.
However he didn't look inside and it's the inside that feels odd. Today I have had a burning feeling in my anus at evening. However it feels like it's on the outside of the anus on the actual opening area. Like it's "dry". I can find nothing online that says if you're "dry" down below that you will bleed or have extreme discomfort.
I do want to say the strangeness has been decreasing in discomfort but it's being very slow about it and sometimes it spikes back up but not as bad as the last spike up.

New in the last couple days.
1) My stool is tiny and un defined. Almost like diarrhea but in the morning only. It's a very small amount of stool. NOT like the amount I usually have. Also there seems to be a cloud of "particles" along with the waste. All of it is a plain brown color (not grey, not clay and not white) even the "cloud". After the morning it doesn't have a cloud and it may be solid like the "perfect" stool. However it's still a very small amount of stool. Afterward my anus "stings" on the outside like I ate something very spicy hot. Yet I didn't.
2) If I drink something I have to urinate within 30 minutes to an hour. Which is not normal for me. If I don't drink anything then I don't have to urinate. The vibration feeling has decreased in how often it happens. I am noticing though that when I walk really fast or exert myself I feel it than too. And every now and again I get a tingling that feels like its "on" my scrotum. Not inside or even with the "vibrating" feeling.
3) I am losing 1 to 2 lbs a day without working out other than the on purpose walking.
4) Today when I woke up (strangely early) after I defecated and went and laid down. I get this strange very mild feeling in my stomach area that feels almost as if I drank too much water and that I wanted to throw up. Almost as if my stomach feels "full" or "too full" and I needed to throw up. But it was a very very very mild sensation.
5) I am getting ever so slightly more tired each day that passes.
6) I am eating less and not really noticing until now as well.
The only thing I have done is change how often I walk since the beginning of June. 14 hours a day. I am hitting between 5500-8000 a day.
Anyone got any ideas?
