Light Blood In Stool. Taking Norco For Pain. Advice?
I've been taking Norco for pain for approx 5-7 years and recently noticed light blood in my stool. It's happened twice in last 6 months. No pain associated. People say hemroids or ulcer .... I do drink cocktails thurs-sun. I'm sure I've caused some liver damage but that's to be expected. Reminder no pain but blood concerns me . I have no health ins. Any advice will be helpful. Thank you,
BT

Dear friend I will help you with some useful information regarding your query ,
As you noticed light blood in stool it is sure that bleeding is not from upper Gastro intestinal system, probably it seems that you are in early stage of hemorrhoids with no pain but occational blood in stool, It can be due to difficulty in passing hard stools or irregular bowel habits everyday that leading to blood in stool, do not be worried as it is a treatable one by taking steps in improving lifestyle by taking high fiber diet and lot of water will cure major symptoms.
I also suggest you to do stool study and consult a surgeon to prevent furthur episodic symptoms.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope I provided useful information.

Complete LFT and LOWER GI ENDOSCOPY should be performed to find out the cause of blood in stool,if there is any liver dysfunction,then adequate measures taken.
