I've been having some lower right sided stomach pains on and off for around a year, it's not too bad but feels raw/stingy always in the exact same spot. I had an ultrasound of my ovaries earlier in the year which was clear although I have a contraceptive coil and they said that an area wasn't fully visable because of this but I was told the pain was likely muscular. I recently went back to GP as the pain is continuing. Saw a different GP who's asked me to have a repeat ultrasound after coil removal soon and ordered blood tests, FIT tests and calcaprotein test. My blood tests have come back mainly normal just a slight rise in the inflammation marker but I had a cold so could have been that, the calcaprotein normal and one FIT test normal but the other 21. I've been referred for a colonoscopy for suspected bowel cancer. I've lost no weight (if anything put it on) and no other symptoms apart from the pain. Initially, I was terrified but after some google research, I'm less worried as bowel cancer should have more symptoms??? Am I right to think the GP is overreacting?
Sorry this turned out to be an essay!!
