Please help! Going out of my mind what this could be...
Posted , 5 users are following.
I was having stomach pain about two weeks ago and got admitted to hospital because of it. They found no reason for the pain after an ultrasound and endoscopy of my stomach.
I also had dirrahea for a couple of days and then nothing for about 5 days (went to the bathroom and pooped fine) went another few days and had a small amount of blood when I wiped now a week later I done another poo and I haven't stopped bleeding for about 4 hours! The toilet paper was soaked and I had a shower and cleaned myself up but was quickly recovered in blood.
I know I should go to the hospital but could it be something as simple as piles or a anal fissure? I don't understand why I have had the stomach pain, on off dirrahea then constipation and no explanation from the doctors except "maybe" gastritis.
It's such an awkward thing to talk about so I would just like some reassurance from someone online!
Please and thanks in advance.

We have one called glycoprep. It's lemon too so probably quite similar.
I had magnesium citrate at 10am then 3 tablets of biscodol at 12pm then this drink at 6pm.
Was a bit worried for a bit there as I didn't have a bowel movement till probably 2pm but all seems to be fine now.
Sounds good. Hopefully they give me an answer and I can share some results then!

Hey
It all went well. Was over and done so quickly and don't even remember it haha.
They found nothing which is great but then again still no answers. Gastro is so lovely though even tho there is nothing he can physically see he is going to find an answer for my pain and constipation. I was in a lot of pain after the colonoscopy which sucked so they kept me for a bit longer but I seem okay now.
He thinks maybe 6 weeks ago I picked up a bug or parasite and the nerves in my bowels have slowed down and don't know how to pick back up again. He said that was one possibility or it might be something to do with my thyroid. He seems keen to find out though and he made me feel so at ease and comfortable! It was nice just for that.

I'm very pleased you got on well I bet you feel relieved and also happy you are going to have more help to find out whats going on, me on the other hand I'm not getting on so well I rang my drs surgery at 8am this morning got through at 810 only to be told I couldn't see a dr as there weren't any available I would have to wait till I got a call from the dr who was on call instead he would access me over the gone and if he thought he needed to see me then he would call me down to see me at the surgery today cutting long story short I'm not being seen today I have to wait until tomorrow even though I'm feeling worse. He is going to fone for my scan results which were done on the 18 sept to the hospital. I have to ring my drs surgery tomorrow where I will be given results n depending on what they say they will deal with it accordingly. So I've got to wait again, not happy as I did think I would at least be exaimined as there are a lot more symtoms since the scan

Omg how awful! They sound so unhelpful and dismissive of your pain and concerns.
Hopefully tomorrow they sort you out. They didn't give any indication on what it could be? Just have to wait to get the scans? Hopefully they get back to your ASAP.

No nothing I'm just left to be at home to my own devises until I can phone tomorrow after 2 as that's when results are given out and then see how things go. So no to be honest I'm not happy I did expect to have an examination today by our local dr. I'm thinking even if dr didn't really know whats going on it would have seemed at least he was trying by offering to examine me

Yes good point! It's not fair that they have just left you to suffer physically and mentally. Waiting for results can be exhausting especially when you are in pain and just want to treat the problem.

Yes that's right I did ask the ultrasound lady when would I get results she said would take up to 10 days for the runaround it's 16 days and I'm no further forward

Yes the ultrasound lady said the turn around for results would be ten days and as I said the scan was done on the 18 sept but phoning every day heard nothing so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get sorted tomorrow or a least an examination so that I feel like something is being done

Hopefully! That's way too long to wait for results and the run around is awful
I hope they are more helpful tomorrow
