34 female
November 2020 I started Experiencing diarrhea every day. Some days it was watery other day its was Just a bit sticky and mucous. The pain started on the right side just below my ribs. It comes in waves when it is bad. But calm days it just feels like a stitch. After a month of this I went to the doctor who was reluctant but referred me to the hospital. Whilst waiting for the appointments to come through I started having maroon coloured blood with diarrhea. Not a little blood. A lot! I was observed in A and E and they sent me to the hot clinic the following day. The consultant suggested it is most likely piles or possibly colitis. But to be on the safe side I was ordered an MRI and colonoscopy. 6 weeks later I had the Mri which showed inflammation on the left side. And that was all.
After waiting 5 months for the colonoscopy I called and moaned as I think the wait was too long and this pain, bleeding and loose stools was not something I could just sit and wait any longer for. I was advised that I would only have a flexi sigmoid as the inflammation was only On the left (I was referred with right sided pain) went along with it any way. Had the scan. Everything was normal but they were shocked that I did not have any piles which I'm guessing was their assumption.
I'm bleeding heavily every 4 to 5 days. I'm in and out of the hospital. I feel like a hyperchondriac but I genuinely feel unwell and I'm terrified.
Last week or so I think I'm having shoulder tip pain with it.
Ultrasound normal. Bloods normal. Blood pressure fluctuating between very low and today its 146/94.
They will not do a colonoscopy as all the other tests have been clear.
The pain is awful. The diarrhea is awful.
I don't have the money to go private.
All getting too much.
