I don’t think this is IBS. Please help.

About a year ago, i started feeling really dizzy. nauseous, etc. Felt really different than any sickness i felt before, but it went away. This was around last July. Around October 2019, I started feeling very mild abdominal pain and the next month I noticed some streaks of blood in my poo for a few days. Since then ive never seen blood. The pain has just gotten worse. This isnt just if I eat bad I get a cramp, every f***g minute of my life is pain. My entire abdomen (especially the lower right side) feels like theres a constant stitch. I cant do anything. Im 17, I had to leave school and I just cant deal with the worry of it being anything worse. We've gotten an abdominal x ray (they didnt even make me take the stuff to highlight your colon) and a few blood tests and stool tests for parasites and blood etc. They are now refusing to give me a CT scan/colonoscopy because apparently my symptoms dont warrant an emergency and bexause of covid so i have to wait 3 years apparently. I just dont want to live in a world where a concerned teenager thats living in constant pain and stress to the point where ive just been thinking of killing myself isnt right. Nothing helps, no change in diet, pain just is steadily getting worse. Feels like im just waiting to die. Any reassurance would be helpful but ive basically went through any option possible and im still just suffering in silence. Im a healthy kid, i was in shape, theres no reason for this to happen, no family history. But i am extremely lonely and depressed but i doubt that could make me have diaharrea 8 times in one day and be in pain 24/7. Feels like most of my stress would be gone if this st was gone. ****I cant leave my house, I cant do physically activity, i cant work, i cant do school. This is destroying my body and my life.

I get what youre saying but thats a pretty dangerous game to play. IBS typically is related to certain foods you eat and gives you a few minutes to hours of cramping, but for me, doesnt matter if i eat a full steak or nothing at all, i still have a chunky feeling in my right side and im still in discomfort 24/7. man i sure hope its IBS but how do i live with it? if im in too much pain to work, what am i supposed to do?

and i am extremely lonely and depressed so if it is something caused or exascerbated by stress i can totally see that. i just feel like if ive been in constant pain for months, i deserve the right to have a CT scan and have reassurance. im only willing to get a colonoscopy if they see something on the CT scan as ive heard horror stories about colonscopies. im a really unlucky person and with the persistant symptoms it makes me think cancer

right hand side pain and the other symptoms you state are smelling of appendix problems. see your doctor and take someone with you so they can hear what your doctor says. ask to see the manager if necessary.
