Right sided pain

Fobbed off by gps for years with ibs as no concern with drastic weight loss etc...I knew something wasn't right  one gp finally listened and arranged a stool sample....raised levels of 800+ and  after a trip to a+e with right side pain which they thought was gallbladder/appendixs .iam now awaiting a colonoscopy for  right sided pain along with joint and body pain  horrific back pain cronic fatigue and nausea and eye irritation. Had ct scan which showed up diverticulitis Currently diagnosed with diticular disease possible high end blockage and need to rule out ibd but still feeling quite anxious .never felt so ill in my life

  • Welcome to the forum Bearyogi although I'm very sorry about the symptoms you've been contending with. 

    I know there's not much I can do to take the worry away but I hope it helps to know we're all thinking of you and will be hoping your colonoscopy goes well when the time comes.

    If you haven't had a colonoscopy before, you can find out more just here.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Bearyogi.

    Kind regards,
