HeLP !GPS Not taking my pain seriously

im 25 male

Ive had chronic lower bowels pain for 8 months now and its getting worse, every morning I wake up in agony/cramps at the very bottom of abdominal, what stays for hours, Ive had about 4 different type of IBS tablets, ive had loads of anti re flux nothing helps, Ive had bloods and stools done three times and all normal, They tell me as I dont have blood or no losing weight and my age, I can not have a endoscopy done on the nhs as there is no warning sign they say, also cause of my age, My aunty had similar pains and went in to a and e one night and was diagnosed with colon cancer 2 days later by scan, even thou shes 40 and no blood in poo and bloods all normal so I know it can happen, This is what worry's me, that I also have colon cancer.

The pain also comes and goes all day long but sometimes its mild other times its cutting

Anyone had any similar pains like this ?

    hi Jamie, i may never had anything like this but having read your post thought i had to reply have you had all the tests including a coeliac test, chrons, ulcerative colitis etc? ask them to dig deeper and check why you have such severe pain? why can't you have an endoscopy test? i'd keep pushing for more tests not knowing what is wrong is worse than knowing! good luck i hope you get some answers soon.

    Do you have diarrhoea or lots of gassy wind? Has your doctor examined your abdomen by feeling and pressing?
