Hi everyone. I'm a 40 year old mum of 2.
I've been experiencing right lower abdominal pain intermittently for about 8years now. I have periods of time when I'm fine then I bloat and get the pain. This normally always goes by the following day. I have always suffered from straining and constipation so over the years the dr has always says this was IBS.
Recently I was admitted into hospital with a kidney infection. During this time I had a contrast ct and they picked up that the my mesentry was also inflamed and wanted this to be followed up by gastro.
Gastro consult said don't worry and inflammation was probably to do with the kidney infection . However I then had a FIT test and calprotrectin test. Calprotectin was normal but FIT was 106 ( I was on the tail end of my period at this time but didn't know not to take the test so I'm not sure if that made a difference)
I'm now on 2ww and have an appointment with the colonoscopy clinic on Wednesday.
Absolutely terrified. Has anyone else out there had similar symptoms?
