please help, am in pain but dare not go to gp

[twinklingtrace2]

for over a year now been getting pains in my left side/ grone had loads of tests scans where they said looked lighter in colour but gp didnt know what that meant, so sent me for tests up my bum, i carnt go iv cancelled twice. i only get them about oncea month, lasts a few days. anyway come back yesterday its agony been up all night taking v strong pain killers and hot water bottle. i am scared to back to gp as i know they ask why i didnt go so scared they may not help me.

anyone else had this kind of pain? ive been tested for infection ,its not what can it be

look just go to your gp and explain. I'm sure they've heard similar before. Just get it sorted!

Did you mean that you've already had the "up the bum" tests, or that you've cancelled them?

i cancelled them i really carnt have them i dont know why i just cart

I would go along to your GP or to the hospital and say just what you've said here. Say that you're terrified of having the tests, which is why you've cancelled before, and can they give you any advice or tell you more about what's being looked for - is there another way to get the same info, what will happen in detail so you're forewarned, is it something that you could be put under for if it's very important? Just go and explain. They should understand and if the tests are important they can help you to get past your fear and to have them - better that than to have something undiagnosed and unfixed when it could be all sorted.

thank for your replys you make it sound so easy, the tabletsare working at the moment ill phone later if i need to go

It is easy. Never had full up the bum tests but been investigated for piles and it's not pleasant, but it's not that bad! Please make an appointment

My mum had "up the bum" tests this summer. She said that the worrying about it beforehand was far worse than the actual test.

Her words - "nothing to it, can't think why I got so worried."

She also had a camera down her throat, which is also nothing to get bothered about.
