Constant Severe Pain For Last Year And Tender Mass For
Constant Severe pain for last year and tender mass for the last few months under right rib. Pain is worse on eating and can also be lower back and lower tummy pain. I also have nausea and blood in stool on 4 ocassions in last 7 months. Chronic constipation that has been worse over the last year. Now only relieved by 8 laxatives a day. A colonic transit study whilst not using laxatives showed a retention of 100% of the markers on day 6. A sigmoidoscopy was unable to be completed due to insufficient emptying of the bowel. A sessile polyp was taken out but later proved to be benign. Awaiting a colonoscopy. An mri confirmed adhesions on the sigmoid colon to rectal area. Also a spot on liver of around 3cm believed to be a simple cyst but not in the areas of the pain. Family history unknown with regards to colonic polyps. Mother died at age 47 of a renal tumor that was suspected to have grown over 10+ years. I am 34 with significant gynae history including 4 laparoscopies for endometriosis, a c section and finally a hysterectomy in oct 14 for adenomyosis. Any advice and further questions to ask my bowel surgeon would be appreciated!
