Pain, pain and more pain

[duveduve]

Did any of you experience any particular type(s) of pain before being diagnosed?

I have had excruciating low back pain that comes and goes. It leaves me crawling on the floor it hurts so much.

I also have pain that wraps around to my right flank, right abdomen and right lower abdomen and hip.

Bowel movements can also be painful. I have a rainblw of stool types - it's never the same.

I had a right-sided tumor so I didnt experience any changes in bowel movement. Looking back though prior to being diagnosed I had been experiencing on and off dull right lower back pain which I assumed was just musculoskeletal in nature.

I used to travel a lot before Dx and blamed the dreadful airline chairs for frequent lower-back aches. Had no idea that these dull aches could be health related and didn't volunteer any news on this when going in for the colonoscopy. Had no idea what the doc meant when he asked if I experienced any 'travel pains' - and answered negative.

Now I know. It's the dull lower back pain caused when my tumor started to press onto other organs (kidneys?). The pain I blamed the airline companies for.
Not excruciating, just a nasty, lingering, daily, dull lower-back pain.

Leon W...this is me. I had a 4cm tumour (mostly) removed at the beginning of the month have had this horrendous lower back pain ever since. Because the initial pathology on removed tumour portion came back clear, my family doctor gives zero f*cks about my back pain. Because the testing was clear, the surgery to remove the rest of the tumour is 'soon' which is probably a few weeks. So until then I just live with it? Or is the back pain a normal after symptom of a polypectomy? According to surgeon, no. But no one seems to care because my age. Enfuriating. I have a baby that demands to be carried and I literally stay on the main floor of our house all day bc I can't handle the pain of carrying him upstairs. I am normal weight, in good shape ( I thought before all this crazy chain of events)
Sorry for the rant

Im sorry that you are not having the pain management that you need. Is there another doctors you can see for the pain?

My doctor told me since what is on my ct is not related to pain (according to him), that I need physical therapy and exercise.... ummm did I memtion when this pain is present that I am crawling on the floor? And who is a family doctor to tell me my pain isn't fromany of what is on my ct?

I think there are a lot of insensitive jerks out there running around in white coats.

Before diagnosis, I had excruciating lower left side abdominal pain that would wrap around to my back. I would also gt some cramping pain on the lower right side but not nearly as severe. This pain would have me doubled over. It would get worse after eating or after bowel movements. I would have maroon colored blood in the toilet, on the paper and mixed in with my stool. Sometimes I would only pass blood and mucus. I would get bowel spasms and a real sense of urgency. I sometimes was constipated and didn't want to eat. I ended up in the ER because of the pain and was referred to a gastroenterologist.
