ash654321 hi there. I’m experiencing the same symptoms as you  I went to see the doctor because I thought it was internal piles but when my doctor did a rectal exam she said she couldn’t feel any thing so then had a fit test came back positive  even of you have piles that bleed it would come back positive so I didn’t worry about it too much  but now as time goes on with blood present in nearly most toilet trips I’m worrying  I’m booked for a colonoscopy next week I’m really scared about every thing   All my blood tests came back all normal   I seem to be a lot gassier and mucus  I darns pass gas with out going to the bath room because I feel some thing come down with the gas mucus comes with it but not all the time  I’m so hoping that it’s internal piles  I have been reading that piles can cause these sort of symptoms and also doctors can’t always feel internal piles because they are soft and too high up  I’ve been having my symptoms as long as you    I’m 70 years old and just so hope it’s nothing sinister hope all goes well for you   

I think we have to a positive that both our bloods have come back normal. 
somedays it really doesn’t bother me, but then others I’ll be spending the whole day procrastinating every scenario and googling my symptoms. 
I requested a fit test from the doctor to which they refused, I did advise that I had done 2 home tests and both came back positive, which I expected giving every passing stool there is blood. 
it’s a mind field, and hope I get some appointment at least by next week. 
pleased you have getting booked in, hope all goes well for you. Keep us posted and if you need a chat, reach out anytime. 

Hi I think some times we look up mr Google a lot maybe we shouldn’t do that but I know some times you can’t help it.  I’ve lost a lot of weight with this because stress and anxiety I couldn’t eat  over thinking things    Just living in hopes it’s still internal piles dreading the prep for colonoscopy  just hope I can take all that horrid bowel prep  then colonoscopy Tuesday afternoon  hope you get some answers soon all this as really got to me  can’t thing about any thing else it’s taken over my life. I even dread going to the toilet these days  wondering what might be coming out. Sorry for too much information. But if you need to talk I’m here 

Yes it’s far too tempting. Although I agree it does not help. 
sorry to hear this is causing you so much anxiety, do you have friends and family around you for support? 
not too much information at all. I totally get it. My camera roll is filled with disgusting pics armed ready for the consultant, I know it won’t be necessary but I just feel the way I was treated at the doctors I feel like it’s justified as evidence. 
Keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome for you next week. 

Hi Ash, I have had my colonoscopy, growth removed and biopsies taken and have no results 4 weeks later. I have been ringing my Consultant’s secretary, I have been back to my GP, as, like you I feel something is not right. The wound is not healing properly, I have had no follow up appointment or after care advice so please don’t feel you are being a ‘nuisance’. I was given no pain relief and feel really let down and quite frankly, very worried. Chase as much as you need to. You know your body better than anybody, don’t be fobbed off. 

Hi tangoPotter

hope everything goes well today. Keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome.

Hi, I feel similar to you, with things not being right from early December. It has taken a month to see a GP, my appointment being tomorrow. I hope to get some clarity from the appointment and will go from there. Wishing you well.

Hope it all goes well for you. 
I just feel like there is no urgency or I’m brushed aside, I mean it could be nothing at all, and I guess time will only tell.
