Worrying myself sick and in a bit of a panic.
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 8:50 pm
First off, my sincere thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who's live have been impacted by cancer.
I am a 37 year old male. I went to the doctor this past Wednesday due to the fact that I've had a dull aching pain and sensation in my abdomen for about 3 weeks now. The pain seems to move around from left to center to right and comes and goes. I'll go a couple days and will feel little pain followed by 2 or 3 days with noticeable pain in lower abdomen. I exercise regularly and eat healthy for the most part. I didn't really pay attention to my stools until this past week and both on Sunday, yesterday and today they are pencil thin. I am also passing a lot of gas now, both farting and burping. I also seem to be losing my appetite.
My xray came back with the follow notes from the doctor: "There is gas and stool the colon and rectum. Increased stool is noted in the right colon. There is no gaseous distention of small bowel. There are no air-fluid levels. There is no free interpersonal air."
The doctor also ordered a blood test (CBC W/ AUTO DIFFERENTIAL) and all the numbers are in the "standard range".
My doctor was supposed to call me today, but I didn't hear from him. I am just worried sick because I have 3 young kids and wife and I can't stop thinking of the worse outcome.
