Stabbing pain in rectum

So for the past 4 months I have had stabbing pain in my rectum, it's an internal pain. The past 4 weeks it has got so much worse to the point that sitting on my bottom in to painful I am unable to do it. I have also started to have diarrhoea in the past weeks. The pain is now migrating into my abdomen so it just started in the rectum and now it is in rectum and abdomen. I have seen my gp they did a rectum exam and said nothing was wrong I had no internal or external piles, no tears nothing. So she said I was fine. I'm concerned because it is getting worse and not to sure what to do? Any advise would be helpful. Thank you 

  • Hello Lidshix

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns. Please do get back in touch with your GP and let them know that things are getting worse. 

    They will be best placed to arrange any appropriate tests or referrals. 

    I do hope that things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • To be honest if i was you i would tell your doctor your not happy and can they refer you to the hospital which in my opinion they should of done anyway as they can not tell anything sinister from the exam they did in my opinion you will probably need a colonoscopy with is a camera up your rectum dont let this put you off you can be sedated i have had it done its not that bad honnest good luck
