(copied over from AIBU - I originally posted there for more traffic but not got any response so far)
I've been getting pains in the right side of my abdomen for the last few years along with some bleeding in my stools (happened about two times since last summer).
The pain has recently got worse so I'm going to make another apt with the GP next week. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced the same or if there was anyone on here with a medical background who has any idea what this could be? I am really worried about this to the point where its always on my mind. Every time I spend any time with my DC I keep having horrible thoughts of something happening to me and not being there for them and seeing them grow up 
.
For the last couple of years I have been experiencing a pain on my right side, probably about 5 cm above the naval and behind the lower rib. The pain comes and goes. Some times I don't feel it for a couple of days or even weeks and then it comes back again.
My kids are both under the age of 4 and both times when I was pregnant I don't remember feeling the pain at all. In September of this year I noticed the pain was quite a lot more noticeable and went on for quite a few days so I went to the GP. They said to monitor it and see if it was connected to anything specific but it seems to be completely random. Today has been quite bad. I noticed it the moment I woke up and its been there on and off all day. I first noticed blood in my poo last summer (2017). It happened again in August and I went to GP about this on a separate visit and they examined me and said its probably from when I was pregnant and had a haemorrhoid (which seems to have disappeared). They asked about diet and if I eat enough fibre which I think I do.
I've been worrying about going back to the GP as I don't want to look like an attention seeker but this morning I decided that I need to go back. I'm fed up of worrying and not knowing what is going on - if I am running out of time to do anything if it is something serious. I feel like I have been fobbed off by the GPs so far.
What is likely to happen now? Are they likely to look into this any further? If they send me away again I am going to ask them to refer me for private tests/ scan - will they do this? I'm not sure how it would work. I will have to dip into my savings/ take out a loan but I am sick of having this on the back of my mind.
All I can think about is that I've got two young children and what would happen if something happens to me
I just feel so fed up of being in this situation and not knowing whether I am completely fine or if I have something seriously wrong with me which needs urgent attention and its making it really hard to carry on with a normal life when I am worrying so much.
