Hi, I have had a large swelling and pain in right lower front area above groin, since July, Cons said it was rheumatoid pain referred from hips, never had arthritis - ct scan for kidney stone (no stone) showed inflammation in hips, cons wouldnt listened to me at all and referred to rheumatology. Saw gp again suggested had ultrasound for hernia, didnt show one. Rheumatologist (oct) said it definately wasn't rheumatoid arthritis and referred me to gastroenterology, bowel changes, swelling getting bigger, I go to loo four/five times a day, not had formed stool for months, passing blood. Noone seens bothered. Scan on womb aug shows thickening- app 28.1.16 just been cancelled.  I am now waiting for colon rectal app just before xmas, if not cancelled. I am petrified it is cancer spread from womb or bowel and that when they find out what is wrong it will be too late. Great site - hugs to everyone
