I started to get low left stomach pain around 5 weeks ago not painful just nagging pain on and off , Gp put it down to constipation which I had been given laxido which did get me back to normal bowel movements but the pain was still there and now off the laxido sometimes I suffer with constipation still and then normal soft movements again , I'm trying to eat more fiber drink lots of water as my diet was pretty poor before so that would explain the previous constipation, but not the dull ache I keep on getting and of course I used google which tell you the absolute worst now I have convinced my self I have bowel / colon cancer it's so scary not knowing I am currently waiting for full blood count results but it's driving me mad not knowing and I keep on googling even though I already have!! Has anyone else experienced this type of dull pain and was something minor?? Also sometimes when I have constipation there is a little mucus but I have and still have not had any blood etc in my stool it is just the dull ache that comes and goes I haven't noticed a pattern completely but maybe sometimes it starts after I eat something ??
