Small bowel/ right side pain

Hi all, 

I am sure this isn't the right place to post however I am at loss. I have been suffering from pain on my lower left side of abdomen for around 2 years. I am 34 female with 2 girls aged 3 and 10. I've never had problems beforehand, I am usually fit and healthy, take no medications etc.. 

so the pain is nearly daily, it can vary from small dull pain to servere pain and extreme tenderness. It is really starting to effect my day to day life. It is always located in the lower right side, never anywhere else. I have a variety of stools and pencil like ones. I have had some blood in stools but only a couple of occasions, it's been dark. 
I have had a colonoscopy which was fairly normal apart from one large polyp which was removed. 
I have recently had a mri and awaiting results but I am convinced it will be normal and I won't get anywhere! I am worried something is going on. I thought maybe it was ibs so tried a low fod map but to no success really. It doesn't matter what I eat it still happens. My gastro said my symptoms are not constant with ibs as it is very localized and with ibs it would potentially be pain across the stomach. 
Anyone else experienced this? Or gone through similar. 
thabks in advance. 

  • If your colonoscopy was clear (apart from the polyp) then that is a fab first step. Stools that are thin can be caused by a tumour growing inside your large intestine but as this is not the case it is unlikely to be anything to really worry about. 

    The MRI you have had should show any abnormalities in the area so you are on the right path. I am also awaiting results of my MRI which is causing great anxiety! 

    Good luck!

  • Thank you! It is more the elimination process! I am fed up feeling like this now! Also I've written left side when it's right side pain, diagonal above the hip.. definitely lower right quadrant of the abdomen and no where else at all! Fingers crossed the mri can finally show some answer! It is anxiety provoking! I hope you are ok and get results soon. Il let you know when I do x
