Constant pain and no help with getting a diagnosis
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, I am looking for any advice at all please.
I have posted on this site a few times and have not had much responce I am hoping someone will be able to give me some advice.
I have been having porblems for months and months now and after the doctor finally giving up and saying it might not be IBS and could possibly be something more she said she is reffering me to a specialist and that my case was down as urgent.
This was about 4 months ago now and inbetween this I was taking into hospital my an ambulance with severe stoumach pain and bleeding from the anus only to be told my urine sample was fine and then filled with condeine and told to go home as they didnt have nay space for me which i was furious with as there is obviously something wrong. After this I went back to the doctor and asked if there was anything else that could be done as I was and still am loosing blood from my back passage (which they clearly think is fine) and she advised there was nothing more they could do in my doctors surgery as they have now reffered me and I have to wait for a letter.
Today I have now been told my case is down as urgent but I probably wont be seen until April which is another 5 months away yet and thats an urgent appointment apparently!
I dont understand how this isnt going any quicker I have pain in my stomach all the time and blood from my back passage on most days.
Myself and my partner really want to start a family but until something gets sorted we cant even think about it at the moment
I have tried going down the private route but insurance companies wont touch me as they class it as a pre existing conditon and I dont have the money to pay for it myself.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any sort of help please???
Thank You

How outrageous that you have to wait so long. On the other hand surely if the doctors thought it was really serious they would see you quicker than that? This sounds like Ulcerative colitis, look it up on the net, don't worry it can be dealt with. You get bleeding with it. You don't say if you've had problems for a while or if this is sudden. Try not to worry, Polly is right it will only make things worse.

you can also contact the appointments clerk and ask that you want a cancellation so you can see the consultant sooner.
good luck and keep us posted.
