Hi hoping someone has experience of what I'm going through
About 8 weeks ago I hurt my back and just after became constipated, I went to the doctor who prescribed movicol and said if no improvement in 3 weeks I'd be referred to rule other things out like cancer, well as you can imagine I've been a wreck ever since, I've had bloods all was fine with that I've also paid for a private consultation last week with a colorectal consultant, he checked me over did a digital rectal exam and rigid sigmoidoscopy and said there was no inflammation polyps or anything and everything looked completely normal, however as he could only see a small section of bowel he's put me down for a barium enema. Now you'd think I'd be happy, but because he wants me to have other tests I can't stop thinking ... What's wrong... What's he not telling me
I've got a dull tummy ache, I move from soft ice cream like stools (sorry tmi I know) to hard pellet type, I've also noticed I have a stitch like feeling that radiates from just under my ribs to my kidney area on my back, I've now also started convincing myself I'm looking slightly yellow, although nobody else has mentioned this, I weighed last weekend and I'd lost 6lbs in weight in a week, however I was only eating a very small amount, literally cereal for breakfast and chicken and broccoli for evening meal.
I've taken colpermin which seemed to ease the tummy ache but I've stopped as I found I was belching slot and reflux,
Sorry for the long winded post but I'm worried sick that I may have something serious like bowel/stomach/pancreas cancer
