I've been a long time lurker and now I can't seem to stop posting :P
Well, if you're familiar with my other posts, I've been suffering from some HA symptoms lately. Fear of HIV, MS, Brain Tumors, etc etc have all come up.
But, today I have a new occurrence that I just need to talk to someone about.
Brief back story: I came down with flu like symptoms, and had to go to the ER bc I felt as though I couldn't breathe. The docs took an X ray, and gave me antibiotics and diagnosed me with bronchitis.
Simultaneously, I had two wisdom teeth removed, and one formed a dry socket. I guess 2014 isn't my year so far. :(
It has now been a week, and although I am starting to feel better with the flu like symptoms, I have developed a couple more that are worrisome.
(Sorry for the gruesomeness)
For a few days I have felt this sporadic kind of dull pain in my right side, sort of under the rib cage, but definitely not all the time. Sometimes I actually feel 100%. Nothing feels out of place, but when I touch something on the side, it is a bit tender. My gf says this feels like a knot, and gave me a massage, which may have added to the tenderness.
However, gruesome part, today I woke up and had a bit of a runny stool that caused a bit of itchiness. Thinking nothing of it, I carried on with my morning and got some lunch. Shortly after eating the lunch, it felt as though my previous bowel movement wasn't finished, and I had to go again. There was minor itchiness, and a bit of pain and struggle, and at the end, i noticed there was a tiny bit of bright red blood on the toilet paper.
Obviously I rushed to google, and started worrying about colon cancer. But I have read that bright red on toilet paper isn't the worst sign. Which made me ease up a bit. However, the sometimes pain in my right side has caused a worry that it's all related.
Since this afternoon, when I discovered the blood, I have not used the bathroom and the side pain isn't worse than before, which helps. But I do feel a little hot, and have a 99-100 low grade fever on the thermometer.
Can anyone pleaseeeee help me with this. I know, I am definitely working on my HA, actually going to see a therapist within the month, but for now, I am seriously worried.
Thank you to all that gave this the time of day.

A couple more things to note:
I have been feeling a slight feeling of bloating for a while now. (maybe a week or two.)
No loss in appetite
Had a physical and bunch of bloods run in December (WBC RBC Liver 100% according to the doctor)
All signs point to okay, but I keep reading that blood in the stool (or on the toilet paper) is not something to ignore.
