Hi all...
Ive suffered from anxiety/health paranoia since i suffered from a stillbirth and severe post natal depression 9yrs ago. Several times i have suffered very real aches and pains and taken myself off to A&e only to be told they cant find anything wrong and magically the symptoms disappear soon after i guess because ive been reassured that nothing is wrong!
Im a recent single mum after a very messy divorce and im more aware of my health than ever. since February ive had a very heavy feeling/sensation in my left side,there is no pain or ache, just an inflammed feeling.been to the docs numerous times and had blood and urine tests.the first set of bloods said that my inflammatory markers were slightly raised and my first set of urine came back with a small amount of red blood cells.the second lot of both have just come back as clear. the feeling suddenly disappeared as quick as i had come but after 3/4 weeks if it being gone it has now come back.ive googled it and it says it could be anything from bowel/colon/pancreatic cancer to simply IBS.
Ive had an ultrasound scan on my kidneys and bladder which was fine, i asked the scanner to scan the other organs but she said she wasnt allowed to unless my gp had asked her to, so obviously im panicking that they missed something inmy bowels or pancreas.
Im hoping its just ibs, i do eat a lot of bread and pasta and often get the desperate urge to go for a no.2 in the morning.my stools are the right colour. the gp has pummelled my tummy and couldnt feel anything nor did it hurt me. its just the constant heavy feeling...im so worried its a hidden tumour, as you read these horror stories of people who have seen their gps and been diagnosed iwth ibs when in fact its been terminal cancer.
sorry to ramble on....
