I had some rectal bleeding 3 years ago, bloody mucus mixed with stool. I do not have haemorrhoids. Had sigmoid, didn't really get to the bottom of it but it stopped. Confirmed no haerrohoids.
Had the same bloody mucus in my stool in the summer, went to the doctors, have sigmoid booked for a few weeks time. Over the last couple of weeks I have had a persistent sensation of fulness and slight pain under my left rib.
Anyway I have started freaking about it this weekend. Bloody mucus in my stool, persistent feeling of something behind my rib, it must be a massive tumor :-(
What's does everyone think please? On this occasion, am I justified in panicking??
