Re: Bowel or rectal cancer
Lisak, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this.
I'm not an expert but if your last colonoscopy was 4 years ago I remember reading that they only do them certain amount of years apart as if nothing showed up then, it takes a long time for a polyp to develop then turn into something nasty.
It sounds like you have had all the right tests done and have come back with good results to give you the all clear. I know the presence of a symptom (gas and constipation and upper left quadrant pain) make you think you have something else - and boy do I understand as it's my daily battle - but the reality of that is you probably have IBS-C. What is your diet like? Do you drink water?
I used to get really bad constipation and I changed my diet, now I eat loads more fibre and try to drink about 1-1.5 litres of water a day. Bit difference (in fact I have the opposite problem now!)
Good luck,
Sx
