Symptoms and Pain
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello All,
I have never thought of looking for a support group until about 1 hour ago. I have been experiencing left side pain and raw feeling in the bowels for several years now. Taking a cocktail of vitamins and mineral has dropped the symptoms by 75 percent. There is still one symptom that haunts me and is getting worse. I'm not sure where to begin to determine if its food related or something more. Below my tail bone i feel rawness and severe inflammation that encompasses the buttocks as well. My doctors say its all in my mind but i think we all know how absurd that diagnosis is. I'm wondering is the foods i am eating are causing inflammation in my stool that feels like i am passing hot peppers when ever i have a bowel movement. The swelling and irritation lasts all day. I am at the point where i don't want to eat any more. My recent bought has been going on for 1 month and finally had to go to emergency at subject myself to a CAT scan. Everything was normal and the nest day and a half the pain was gone. I thought that i in fact was imaging this but soon realized that i had not eaten in a day or so and had no bowel movements. That's why the pain left. As soon as i started to eat and have movements again the pain returned. Its maddening. Not sure what to do now. I not a fan of medications unless no side affects. Can anyone relate to my story? Am i just insane? Thank you to all that reply.

1 to 3 movements a day. most time looks good on bristol chart. sometimes soft, then normal. Floating stools some times, then sinkers. I saw little blood for the first time a few days ago which lead me to hospital for cat scan. normal results, blood test good. But inflammation in rectum and buttocks after poohing. bi polar is my issue to. That mental component to all of this is fascinating. Feels like raw burning, dulling pain that comes and goes.

hi flyinsky, first OUCH, it's rubbish this is in your mind. i wonder having read your comments if this is piles or an anal fissure. go see a different doctor and ask for a colonoscopy to see what your bottom end is like. this will tell you if there is something physically a miss. you could try rubbing a really soothing cream on the affected area just to give you some relief. if your bowels are switching from soft to hard your bottom will physically hurt. the doctor you saw was rubbish insist on a different opinion.
