    Strange numb/inflation sensation when number 2

    Hi everyone

    Over the weekend I had a really strange symptom:

    I was on the toilet, having taken Dulcolax the previous evening (as I have done for years) when suddenly I felt an inflation sensation in the splenic flexure area.

    This came and went in waves, and appeared to be relieved when my bowels emptied.

    It felt like a numbness/inflating balloon sensation with no pain. I touched my skin at the time and it wasnÂ’t numb, this felt internal.

    IÂ’m obviously spiralling; I had a polyp removed from the transverse bowel three years ago (due another scope next year) and a family history of bowel cancer. IÂ’ve never had this sensation before that I can remember!

    Spiralling that it was a partial seizure

    I woke up a few weeks ago with a tingling arm and a tingling sensation in a small part of my chest.

    So I’ve gone from bowel cancer to brain tumour (what’s new!!)
