Worried

[Contra21]

Hi all, I just got back from the hospital . Servere cramps, trapped wind pain feeling, cramping episodes so bad I can't move and I'll sweat. Nearly been 2 days of this. I woke with intense lower back pain & nausea. Later that night I went to the hospital. They did bloods amd urine amd all normal. I barely got.soup down woke up after a short sleep and pain is back , feel clammy amd hot amd passed a.bowel movement and blood in my stool. I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and all was normal. I'm due for my period also but never had cramps( upper stomach ) this bad before! I'm worried!

Hi Contra21,

Thank you for posting in Colon Cancer Connected. I'm sorry that these symptoms are causing you discomfort and pain.

You definitely have a lot going on here. Your best bet is to get these symptoms to your GP to sort out. It is good news you had an uneventful colonoscopy 3 years ago.

You said you had blood in your stool. What was going on to trigger you getting a colonoscopy 3 years ago? This is an area to definitely get more answers from your GP. There are many different causes for blood in your stool.

We do wish you the very best in gaining more information. Please do seek this information from your doctor. And please do let us know what you find out. It can be helpful to others.

Is another colonoscopy warranted,? Last one was 3 years ago, also did a stool test 9 months ago. The colonoscopy I went in for rectal itching , blood here and there

Hi Contra21,

Maybe, but that would be for your GP to determine? I can't offer medical advice. For peace of mind, get it checked out.
