Hi
i’m very worried and just looking for any1 who may have had similar issues as me.
i’ve had IBS my whole life - always on the constipated side.
A couple years ago I developed a niggling discomfort just under my lower left rib. I also suffer from reflux. (Pretty sure due to chronic stress). But about a yr ago I started having soft stools that would come out in blobs and that’s still what I mostly have, I also rarely feel like I’ve finished a bowel movement. I hadnt changed my diet but I was stressed. I’ve also had on and off over maybe a few months a pressure and feeling of something just inside my bum. However last week I had that for a whole week. I’ve also been having discomfort in my left lower pelvic area. I went to the Dr and she did a rectal exam but couldnt feel anything and she couldnt feel anything pressing my belly. She wants me to do a blood test and a FIT test. This weekend I thought I felt something when pressing on my left pelvis and don’t know if it’s just a poo! I have now also got pelvic pain - left and right and lower back pain and still a feeling of slight pressure in my bum.
I have health anxiety and obviously Google is telling me the worst!
sorry for the long post, really hoping to hear from anyone who may have had similar that turned out not to be what Google says!
