New here. Been lurking for a while. I'm an admitted Hypochondriac. Have been for years. I'm 43 female (on meds for anxiety and depression).
I've had some rectal bleeding issues for a few years. My bum seems to get sore after a BM. I do have roids but every time I go to my specialist she tells me Okay they are slightly inflamed but aren't bleeding. So last Thursday I went and she did a thorough exam. A digital rectal exam and she stuck a light up there to look around. Didn't see anything. Pressed on the area I have pain and said doesn't Seem to be anything there. I asked for a sigmoid and she agreed. Specifically told me she's not Worried (knock on wood). So since that appt I've had so many issues. Every time I have a BM it stings back there. Can't tell if I'm bleeding because I have my monthly friend. I'm simply terrified about tomorrow's procedure. Not getting sedated and I'm scared to death. I feel like I can't handle this fear and I don't know. Just looking for some reasurrance. I'm so scared. I don't have really any support so nobody to talk to.
