Embarrassing problem

[Bumtrouble]

Name changed for obvious reasons

For the past month or so I've had diarrhoea on and off as well as left sided abdominal pain. Embarrassingly I have actually soiled myself twice while out walking & unable to find a toilet. It's got to the stage where I'm constantly uncomfortable and worried about being able to find a toilet if I need one.

I've phoned my gp & have blood & other tests booked for a couple of weeks time but im just really scared. Im early 50s.

Hope all goes well op x

Op I had the bowel scan with contrast dye two weeks ago honestly it was fine don't worry very slightly uncomfortable but not painful it's ok 👍

Hi - hope scan goes well. I’m assuming (and hoping) you have irritation from anti inflammatory drugs. Best to get scans anyway and check everything.

The hospital just phoned & cancelled. The scanner is broken

Oh no, that's crappy. Here's hoping tgey fix it this week

It is crappy. I had followed the no food rules & been drinking loads. Now all I've done is run to the loo all afternoon!!

@Bumtrouble I hope you get rebooked soon, keep us updated

Fingers crossed 🤞 Will do

Scan rebooked for Tuesday this week 🤞

@Bumtrouble that’s good you have a date set now. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Good luck OP

Hope all goes well tomorrow @Bumtrouble. 🌸

Thank you for thinking of me. I'm incredibly nervous. I'll update after

Good luck op sure you will be fine! Xx

Good luck op.

Well that was a weird experience. When they injected the dye I felt like I'd wet myself Thankfully the nurse had warned me that it may feel like that. Just got a pounding headache now. Results in 48 hours they said so 🤞

Really! I didn’t know it would do that!
Sure you will be fine, have a glass of wine, you’ve had a stressful day!

Hope all went well. Fingers crossed for the results x

That must have felt very weird! Try and rest now and as much as is possible out it to the back of your mind ( or at least to the side) and relax.

*put it

Everything crossed for you OP

DS regularly has MRI's with contrast and says it feels really weird!

x fingers hope they get you a quick effective treatment, OP

That’s good the scan is done, a big step forwards, thinking if you OP and hoping for an easy fix 💐

Sending you a big hug/cuppa/tankard of gin deleat as appropriate

I hope you get good news as soon as possible.

I completely agree about the contrast dye and feeling like you've wet yourself. Such a bizarre feeling, I ended up checking my knickers just to be sure I hadn't wet myself!

I've had a scan with that dye that makes you feel like you've wet yourself - the nurse warned me but it was still weird.

Hoping you get reassuring results as soon as possible .
