So worried

Offline Cath23 over 5 years ago

Hi,

Can anyone please help me. I have been suffering for past 6 weeks with so many awful symptoms. It started with burning stomach and abdomen, terrible nausea, that eased off after a couple of weeks. Developed left side under rib pain, low back, rectal and leg pain, all still with me daily. Have had bloods done several times all clear, abdominal ultrasound, also clear, ct scan of abdomen also clear. Had colonoscopy year and half ago. Waiting for another one. Feel so depressed thinking every day that this must be something very bad, Also get diarrhoea or loose stool most days. Very hard to even see a doctor with this virus going on. Tks for reading.

Hi Cath23,
I'm sorry to read about the issues you're experiencing at the moment. Firstly try not to connect all the symptoms as they may not necessarily be related. It sounds like you've had a number of tests that have come back clear, so try to take the positives from that. As you are waiting for an additional appointment it may be best to try to keep your mind off things as much as possible prior to that, although I appreciate this is difficult if you're in pain.
If you have any immediate concerns or worries do try to phone your doctor and they may be able to advise without a face-to-face appointment. Otherwise hopefully it's not long to wait until you can find out more.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben

Hi Cath,
No I don't have these symptoms - however I understand it must be somewhat unsettling; but like I say do try to keep your mind off it as much as possible and focus on the positives from the tests you've had so far.
All the best,
Ben
