Concerned!

Ok, I am a worrier who has had good health untill diagnosed with IBD. Just in the rectum but think this may spread. I havent had pain with it, just cramping and wind and soreness in the rectum. Although had losse stools on and off for years which i thought was ibs the first bad time i had was when all the bleeding started and muscus. I was convinced it was piles until diagnosed. I lost nearly a stone over those three weeks, but how do you know when its a medical emergency, i wouldn't have a clue as its all new for me. I wouldn't know if i was anemic or anything. Will this just get worse?

Hi Lara,

Are you on any medication for it at the moment? Have you had any recent blood tests as these should show if you're anaemic? I know it's hard not to worry but try not to as stress will probably make it worse!

I'm not really sure what would class as an 'emergency' either, so sorry I can't be of more help!
