Scared
Posted , 2 users are following.
So I have posted here before about possibly having IBS or something else..My symptoms have been occasional trips to the restroom right after I wake up..Mucus all the time with or without stool.. My stool always come in different shapes and sizes..I pass so much gas.Lots of low back pain and now I get pelvic pains especially before a bowel movement or when gas gets trapped..Sometimes it’s not so bad but today was pretty painful..It went away right after I went. I also get pain on my right side stomach 2 inches away from belly button..This has been going on for 2 years already..After seeing different doctor’s, blood work, ultrasound and xray I’m scheduled now for a colonoscopy for the end of next month..Doctor said she thinks it’s mostly IBS but wants to rule out other possible causes.. I’m always in fear that it’s C.. I’m always stressed out, looking at my bowels and I feel everytime I look I see something different.. Now I’m getting leg pains but not sure if that can be all connected or it’s do to something else..I don’t know what to expect during my colonoscopy I’m somewhat frightened.. I believe I suffer from health anxiety..Any little pain scares me..I had been on antidepressants over 2 years ago.. Not sure if I will probably need them again.

Hi. I had over two years of doctors visits with stomach pain bliating blood in my stools and more. My GP insisted it couldn't be cancer as I wasn't yet 60. Long story short she was wrong. Having a camera in your bottom is not fun but it really isn't painful and you can opt for light sedation. It does sound like you are a worrier and some of it will nothing to worry about. Go for your colonoscopy and take it from there
