Hi all...the last 3 weeks we have been plagued with illness in our house...sickness bugs, colds and now my youngest daughter has shingles!
I started 3 weeks ago with a low tummy ache and back ache (like period pains), then I had 7 days of dioreah and nausea which resolved last Friday (not 100% back to normal but not the watery nightmare I was having!!). I ended up in a&e Friday and they checked bloods (plus pancreas) and wee sample and All was fine. Doctor diagnosed gastroenteritis. They requested a stool sample which I dropped down this morning. A&e doc suggested I might have IBS.
However I’ve still got a nagging discomfort on my tight hand side under my rib cage and s bit if back ache. Like something is stuck under the rib. No blood or anything. Now I’m worried the nagging right hand side discomfort (not really pain) could be colon cancer :( I had my gallbladder/kidneys scanned 7 months ago!
Edit to add I’m 35 years old.
