Scared
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi 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 most of 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..I don’t see any blood or haven’t lost any weight..After seeing different doctor’s, blood work, ultrasound and xray which all came clear 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 worry looking at my bowels.. Now I’m getting leg pains but not sure if that can be all connected or it’s do to something else..Maybe stress??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 due to health issues..

I'm a bit like you worried a lot.
I've had colonoscopy twice first time it hurt a little. So the second one I had sedation and it was fine .if I was you I would have sedation they tell you then the results but biopsy you find out after but the biopsy is routine
Good luck.

Once you have ruled out other causes and you are pretty sure it is IBS try getting the book IBS for dummies. I've just got it on eBay and I wish I had read it 20 years ago.
