Hi all , I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for over a year . I’ve seen a myo and chiropractor both say tight muscles , admittedly it does ease off at times . Lately I’m feeling very gassy and in the past month I’ve had on and off rectal bleeding . The thing is I usually only bleed when I feel a sting which tells me it’s maybe a cut or just a hard stool . Google tells me recital bleeding with gassyness is a sign of bowel cancer and I’m starting to think of my back pain and thinking the worst .
Has anyone dealt with this ? I’ve started a new full time job and cannot take the time
Off for doctors just yet .
Did you feel a sting or not? I have had both and nothing has come of it. Healthier diet is recommended. Trust me you’ll be fine. It’s normal for me even doctor said so he just said I was eating less fiber than I should
Hi Shane , Thankyou so much for the reply . Yes I feel a little sting when their is blood which is why I’m hoping only surface related but my mind wanders completely . I’ve also used creams with not much help
Your life is more important than your job.
Go to your doctors asap to get your symptoms checked out.
There are many reasons for blood in stool a medical professional will help you.
Although rectal bleeding should be investigated by a medic, what you are describing is almost ceetainly a fissure, a small tear when you pass a particularly large or hard stool. Get it checked out because you can get a cream to heal it up if up... .you don't want to keep re-tearing if that's what is happening so try to eat foods that will keep you stools a bit softer.
