Please have your blood checked for infection. It is possible to have one kind of infection in the section of intestine that makes up your stoma (infection = pressure / pain) and a different type of infection circulating in your blood causing you pain in your joints and/or limbs. If complete blood work is not done (CBC not BMP), one infection may be found and treated (with antibiotic) but not cure the other infection and visa versa. Thus - prolonging your suffering and reinfecting your blood system thereby becoming a cycle. The key is complete blood scanning for infection.

I would be in a bit of a panic if you know you have a problem and the Dr doesn't help you - i wonder if something got moved or an adhesion has developed- you really need to see a competent specialist -- I heard a Dr say the other day well anyone can resect a colon who is a DR == maybe they can but not on my body!! I do hope you get help asap...ewesful
