Hi I have been experiencing blood in my stools for about 5 months now, every time I go, this comes in stool, bloody mucus, sometimes turns the water red and appears every time I wipe.
I often feel the need to go to the toilet then find myself sitting on the loo waiting for it to come, and it does eventually, it's not particularly hard or loose so just can't think where it's coming from.
I'm experiencing pain in abdomen and lower back, and have recently started getting what feels like shooting nerve pain down both legs.
I have had a colonoscopy that came back completely clear, no open wounds or lumps and blood tests that have also come back clear, however, my doctors have booked me an appointment to discuss my stool sample.
I have previously experienced bleeding for a year between 2018 and 2019, after a year it just stopped and I was to embarrassed to discuss it, however as it came back with a vengeance I had to get it checked.
