Hi All,
So a few weeks ago I went to the GP after complaining about my bowel habits and a dull pain in right side of my lower abdomen (near appendix) and lower back. He first took some bloods, asked me to keep a food and stool diary, then two weeks later he took a FIT test. The bloods and the FIT test came back as normal and my bowel habits don't change that much (1 or 2 poos a day nearly all the time, though on one occasion I have been constipated and two occasions I had narrow poo which whent away after one day). WHilst lower back pain is worse when sitting in car or in office so is likely to be musculoskeletal.
However I still have dull ache as well which is to be checked by an ultrasound. Most of the time I don't feel it unless sitting down. However I was just wondering if this is a likely sign of bowel cancer or if abdominal pain with bowel cancer is more severe?
