Colonoscopy after effects !

Hi all 

I have had a colonoscopy on Friday just gone everything went well and a small polyp was removed from rectum and 6 biopsies were taken ( including polyp ) I knew they were taking 5 or more biopsies from all diff places of colon etc because my consultant had told me. 

When I had seen the consultant on the 2nd / 3 rd of July he had said my app will be made within 6-8 weeks but 8 days later I was offered a Saturday app just out the blue a cancellation app . Anyhow I couldn't take it being I have yo get things set up into place for my young child . Anyhow they had given me adate for the following Friday 20 th so I took that one . Just a quick symptoms since having it felt dizzy a little and disorientated for a few days after I only been feeling right since yestedsay had funny pains in left arm I think it was where I was leaning on  it through procedure . I had b/m since the Friday so that was good thing and thought my bowel n bladder is working . Then Sunday I had a maroon clot like a kidney bean shape. No temp no fresh blood I called my doctor too on Monday to have a telephone app my doctor said as long as it not fresh then it's ok and if clots carry on come and see me . I had had panick / anxiety attacks over the weekend sat night was really bad carried on for five hours . 

Anyhow thry have gone now but I'm worried as I feel like I need to go toilet still even though I been a little this morning ! 

I don't want to phone the unit up as they prob tell me to go in and I don't can't stand hospitals I cannot be dealing with it all. 

Im sure my bowels are ok so four five days after it feels like I have constipation even though since Friday it's all been mashy runny !

aldo what is frightening me is the results as the hospyral said 6-8 weeks why so long ? When everyone is saying 3 weeks ?? I'm confused and scared and taking Day by day 

 

reasons why my doctor referred me were 

bowel changes from 2014 and for worse and was affecting my life I should of seen doctor earlier but was scared too there's a few cancers in the family and had freaked MeV right out 

I also had blood in my poo last year October every other day ! 

Anyhow very much appreciate people advicing me I see my doctor prob next week as she said she wants to see me for a routine app . Another thing is I do feel right around my back kidneys etc. Thank you for any advice 

  • I had a colonoscopy last month, the idea was to get to the entrance of the small bowel where I have intense uptake showing on a nuclear scan. Unfortunately the first lot of prep hadn't taken affect after 8 hours, took second dose of prep and four hours later the process of on and off the loo started, unfortunately I didn't clear enought for them to get to the ilium so they are back to the drawing board. They gave me sedation and a pain medication which I later found out was fentonyl, it made me feel quite unwell. had entonox before and that worked well for me. I have a very log loopy bowel so lots of turning on the table to get the tube going. ironically Just been sent my FIT test so will do that anyway. In the meantime am on the rapid pathway for BCC lower eyelid, Biopsy surgery this friday to stage and work out treatment plan. Not looking forward to the repeat colonoscopy, it's the prep that gets to me.

  • Would like advice re Colonoscopy which I had on 16th Oct.

    My toiletting hasn't been right ever since- constipated until 21st Oct - took Laxido several times along with senna- and also prune juice yesterday.

    My stools are so soft and there is no bulk to them at all-have been for the last 2 days.

    What can I do about this please.

    Happy for reply from whoever!
