Hi
dont really know where to start, I've had a harsh year this year already with a referral to abreast clinic which came back clear. In august of this year I started to get stomach pains and bowel issues
it was a pain on my lower left side, I thought oh it's nothing maybe it's some inflammation or issue, my gp was rubbish at the beginning just gave me pain relief.
the pain continued gp said I had a uti infection and gave me antibiotics, he mentioned if it didn't go away come back and we would do a urine sample again and stool test
i went away in September and still had the pain and long story short. After 4 urine samples I saw a urologist who didn't think it was a urine issue but has booked a bladder camera test for January
6 stool samples later I had a ultrasound that came back clear and finally a FIT test where one of the tests came back positive to showing blood.
my stool has been loose and dark green almost black looking or orange. My gp has now sent me for a urgent referral for a colonscopy and I am awaiting an appointment, I'm just so scared I haven't had children, I get pain in my upper left and both sides of my lower abdomen. My upper stomach feels swollen. And it all concerns me, it's concerning that I'm 5 months into stomach and bowel issues with no answers
but I'm also concerned on whether it is sinister my gp just thought oh it's ibs you are fine, too young it's taken me so many phone calls and chasing to get anywhere, my gp didn't even want to do the FIT test
ps all my bloods were fine same with other stool tests that test crohns slight iron deficiency.
Has anyone got any advice with how to cope so close to the festive period im trying to be positive but my family hate how I think of the worst case scenario
