3 wks on off sinus infection. dark loose stool(started iron pills recently), mild abdominal cramping. now achey, stiff finger joints.possibly related?

Probably not: These conditions are not generally related, but without a full history, physical exam and perhaps some labs and/or imaging studies it is impossible to say. If these continue see your family doctor and let them evaluate you. Best wishes.
