Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and as I'm sure you all understand i have been at my wits end lately waiting for the results of my colonsoscopy.
I'm 24 and have had severe abdominal pain and even some chest pain and bouts of diarrhea for over a year and the doc said he was pretty sure it was IBS but I asked for a colonoscopy anyway. I also recently noticed small lumps in my lymph nodes in my neck, armpit and groin which didn't help matters so I went straight to the doc who says it shouldn't be anything to worry about and that I am probably just fighting an infection and they are doing their job normally.
He also had a very brief report back from the colonoscopy. It just said that the sigmoid was very inflamed and swollen and the results would be discussed with me in full when I return for my follow-up. I'm not sure if I should at least be happy that there was no mention of a tumour or perhaps they wouldn't have mentioned this on the report until biopsy results were back? I'm starting to think it is more likely to be ulcerative colitis or something?? I know there is no point in speculating until I have my follow-up appointment but it seems to be taking forever!!!
Anyway... just thought it may help to get it out there!
