Right now I'm getting lower back pain about tailbone and butt bones... It's a dull pain... I was getting pains in ovary area but doctor diagnosed me with UTI.. I started treatment and it seems to have gone away... But not the back pain... It's been non stop for a month now and it goes away when standing most of the time... I've had abnormal bowels for a few years tho.. But I've been so stressed and I do have depression anxiety.. ... I'm stressing cause I'm scared and don't have insurance.. BUT.. I got on this forum about a year ago and was looking at my past posts and 10 months ago I had the same exact symptoms that I'm experiencing right now.. Clearly it had went away but now it's back... It's making me sick to my stomache and I just don't feel good.. I have rectum pressure too but I also experienced that 10 months ago... I won't have insurance for another two months and this is stressing me out... Is this normal for IBS..?! I haven't had any hard stools lately these past few days now it's loose stools... No blood no weight loss...
Hi Nicole, I would get your GP to do a colonoscopy. Not a sigmoidoscopy which does not go in far enough. Hopefully, you will get some answers. Try and make your GP listen. Its hard not to worry but getting the colonoscopy will give you some release from the worry. Don't take no for an answer. Maggie x
I don't have insurance right now so I have to wait unless I go to ER... I know stress can do a lot too you! And the worrying makes it worse... But there's nothing I can do just now... But worry!
Hi Nicol, go get a colonoscopy.....not a sigmoidoscopy as that doesn't investigate far enough. Don't take no for an answer from your GP. It will put your mind at rest. Maggie x
