Hello

As you are continuing to have pain and you have seen some blood you should contact the department who carried out the sigmoidoscopy and ask them what you should do.  If you cannot get in touch with them then speak to your GP.  Make sure you get to speak to someone about it as soon as you can to be on the safe side .

I hope that is helpful

Martin

Thank you Martin.

I called the hospital department who asked me to speak to 111. They told me to go to my nearest A&E and I had blood tests done and tummy examinations. 

They told me to go in tomorrow at 9am for an ultrasound. I'm not looking forward to having barely any sleep. I would have rather stayed overnight at the hospital but I guess there must be a reason why they decided for me not to. I have just come back home and it's 3am. My head is banging. I hope I'll be okay tomorrow.

Just saw that you'll be at the hospital now.

Sending love and hugs.

Thinking of you. x

Thank you Rose. That means a lot xx

I'm still waiting for the appointment. Hoping I get seen soon and that all will be okay.

Yes, really hope you get seen soon and all is okay.

Good to know that you made it to the hospital this morning.

It's been a rough ride for you.

Take care, Rose xx

Thank you Rose.

I gave it until 12 until I decided to ask reception. They quickly took me to get an ultrasound and he said I was supposed to be there at 9am. I said that I came earlier and checked into reception! It turns out they didn't check me in! He joked that I should slap them in the face. If only I chased it up earlier, I didn't want to be annoying.

He said he didn't find anything abnormal in the ultrasound which is reassuring. I do wonder why I'm in so much pain though. He said to wait half an hour to see if I need further investigations. I hope I can for peace of mind!
