I felt a bump inside my butt that is new I think. I’ve felt in there before and never felt it - even a few days ago (I haven’t done that in awhile before this spiral but my anxiety is out of control, so I felt in there). I have a softer longerish type Hemorrhoid. Then on “top side” or whatever, I felt a smaller bump that is less squishy and more firm. I of course freaked out and couldn’t wait to see normal doctor so went to urgent care. The Physicians assistant I saw scared me even more. Just seemed concerned and urged me to see hemmorrhoid type doctor and get colonoscopy because I’ve had issues with bleeding/constipation for years (had colposcopy like 10 years ago). She said she couldn’t say for sure bumps (especially harder) one was a hemorrhoid but did say she wasn’t overly concerned once I asked. Anyway, my normal family doctor also does a lot of scoping, including coloscopies and he had cancellation and was able to get me in Monday. I spent all morning calling places. I haven’t really eaten in weeks. I’ve been miserable and just drowning in anxiety. My body is sore and I have heart palpitations and I’m just so out of control. Anyone with similar experience?
Did you have the bleeding issue when you had the colonoscopy ten years ago?
Re the cancellation, that's good, right? Less waiting time!
