Hi everyone, my name is Frances and i'm 37. I have 4 kids 17,15,4 and almost 3 year old, i have a history of constipation, stomach bloating for as long as i can remember, when i was 19 i was so constipated i ended up with bleeding hemeroids. I feel like i have lost muscle tone when going to the toilet from being constantly constipated. I have always had bouts of fatigue and joint pains that seem to come and go, with times inbetween where i feel great! 6 years ago i had a really bad bout of illness where my muscles ached all over, i had mri's to rule out ms, they eventually said i had chronic fatigue, blood showed folic acid was low as was b12 and iron, i also seem to have a arrithmia when i get these symptoms and not that i am stressed at all. I gave up smoking at this point as the dr said this could be causing the heart arrithmia, again in time i found i gradually improved until i was pregnant, i kept having sharp pain in my lower left sideand my uterus kept contracting, they said my bowels were irrratating my uterus! Anyways long story short still having pain in my stomach after giving birth they said i had helicobacter and i was treated for that, not feeling any better and i ahve had every medication possible for ibs and omeprazole ect buscopan and 13 weeks ago they even took out my gallbladder as the pain under my ribs on the right side got so bad the done emergancy surgery i am still in agony
I have constant pain under my ribs that gets worse when i eat a meal, i can manage soup and toast without making the pain unbearable. I have painful flatulance and go between constipation to soft stools, i often have mucus in stool too, sorry way too much info, Pian killers dont take the pain away, it if anything dulls it a little.
I seen my surgeon who said i need a colonoscapy, another ultrasound and a mri. They said before they took my gallbladder out that it could be my bowels. I dont know if i have any disease, if anyone has had similar experiance and can offer advice i would be delighted to hear if there is anything i can do to help not be in so much pain!
Ps ultrasound 28/1 colonoscapy 29/1 still waiting on app for mri as far as i know bloods are fine!
I never write in forums but feel i need some support as i am so scared right now!
