I have starting having gastrointestinal issues about a month ago after a round of IVF which unfortunately failed. As background, I have severe endometriosis pretty much everywhere in my abdomen including my liver, diaphragm and on my sigmoid colon. In the past, while I do suffer occasionally from some mild GI issues, it has not been too bad, besides for the pain around the liver area.
Fast forward to a month ago, after the failed round of IVF, I started being quite constipated, going to the toilet maybe 2 or 3 times a week and feeling mildly bloated. 8-9 days ago, while on holidays, I woke up in the middle of the night with extreme pain in my abdomen ( felt like really bad gas pains ) and it almost felt like my intestines were burning. This was accompanied with being very bloated and having a lot of gasses ( sorry about TMI) . This has continued for a few days, after which I had even worst cramps and diarrhoea for 2 days. Every time I eat anything I become so bloated it is uncomfortable and I get widespread colicky ( strong cramps) pains all over my abdomen. I went to the Urgent Care on Thursday, where they did blood tests, an Xray and urine test. They said they don't think it is a blockage because it doesn't seem like it on the Xray. My blood tests are normal but they said there is a little blood in my urine ! They basically sent me home and told me to contact my gynaecologist for the endometriosis part of it.
I have been home for the past two days and the cramps continue, at some point so painful I feel like I can't breathe. I am now so anxious about these symptoms and I do not know what to do. Has anyone ever had something similar appear out of the blue and lasting this long? I am thinking to go back to A&E tomorrow if I am still unwell, however I am scared they will send me home again with no answers. I am also starting getting mini panic attacks throughout the day feeling like this might be very serious. Sorry for the rambling, I just don't know what to do.
