Hi your husband is a diabetic with pain and swelling knees with elevated white blood corpuscles. Ultrasound knees show no blood clots. It should be septic arthritis. His sugar level should have got disturbed and that is the reason for lack of appetite. If green stools for single time it is bilious don't worry may be part of general disturbance in health. Your husband need to have IV antibiotics painkillers knee rest and control of sugar. Take care.
