Hello, during admission to hospital for a diverticulities flare up I underwent a CT scan of my bowel and I am now on urgent pathway for a colonoscopy in two weeks time. I have also completed a FIT test which came back at 16.9. but my question concerns pain in my bowel, cramping which is very severe followed by defecation. What is the best way to control this pain as it makes me feel physically sick. Also the urgency to go to the toilet when the pain comes on. I am a nursing student and should be on placement but have been on sick leave due to return tomorrow, but I am worried that I will experience this pain and urgency when on placement. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
