2 years of stomach pain & mucus!
Posted , 3 users are following.
For almost two years now I've had an upset stomach, a constant what I would describe as a 'dull' pain in my lower stomach. When I go to the toilet there is what I believe to be called mucus, like jelly stuff and most recently I have noticed blood but that was two weeks ago now. My bowel movements are very irregular from 4 times a day to maybe 4 times a week.
- Sensation of feeling sick (never been sick)
- No weight loss
- No appetite
- No acid
I've had tests and a camera down my throat into my stomach and nothing was found. The pain I experience is moderate, I can handle it but sometimes it does become severe. I've been to see a specialist and was tested for H-Pylori and did a barium swallow and all was well there.

I also suffered shortness of breath, so stopped smoking and alcohol buglers up my system for days so I've have to abstain. I wish I could get my life back and feel for anyone who's living with all this. Not sure that this will be of any help for you, but sometimes I find that just knowing that it's not just me helps. Take care.

I had the same symptoms for 6 years. My pain was my lower right side. It really got me down I used to spend most weekends in bed in tears. It was a dull, tight pulling like pain. The only relief I got was to put accushion onto then laying on top of the cushion to create as much pressure as I possibly could. I has test after test with no diagnosis ever found. Eventually I had my appendix removed after that didn't help a year or so later they then removed both of my ovaries at the age of 28. I would have had my arm removed if it meant I would be pain free. After returning to my doctor and been referred to the hospital I just got fobbed off saying I was a medical mystery and needed to learn to live with the pain and given an appointment to see a doctor at the pain management clinic. To live with this horrific pain for so long was really getting me down I couldn't get out of bed, I was in tears all of the time. This then lead to severe depression. eventually I went back to my GP who put me onto antidepressants and took blood tests to see if my B12 was low. I got a call from my GP a week later telling me to go into the practice immediately. When I arrived I was seen straight away and told I had no thyroxine in me and was put straight onto Levothyroxine and was then under the care of a consultant. After a couple of months when the thyroxine had kicked in I was stunned to find my pain had totally gone. No pain what so ever. After all these years and unsuccessful operations. I was a different person I had me back but was also heartbroken that I had, had both ovaries removed meaning I could never conceive naturally and I didn't have any children and now couldn't ever have my own baby. It was bitter sweet for me which I've learned to live with but I think about it ever day. I didn't know just how important the thyroid i, the engine of your body that controls everything. 2 years on and I'm a different person and still totally pain and symptom free. It's mybe with a trip to your GP to ask for a blood test just to check your thyroid. I hope you get this sorted and soon as I'l know how miserable it can make you x
