Help, I think I may have UC?

[Dellap]

Well for the past month now I have been complaining of back pain and sotmach pain. Went to the doctor, got my blood taken and it said low iron. I was scheduled for a stool sample, but I am constipated on a regular basis and had already gone that morning and the next day I went out of town, I will do the sample when I get back. But since I've been out of town my stomach has been hurting constantly, and my back pain has only gotten worse. I've been talking to my mom and she said this happened when I was 8, but the insurance ran out so we didn't do anything about it. Now, at age 16, it's back and really hurting. After I eat my stomach starts to burn, and this morning urine kept leaking out of me (Sorry TMI). My legs are always falling asleep and I have constant muscle cramps as well. I've been reading up on some symptoms and it said headaches can be one. My whole life I've suffered from severe migraines but no one knew why. Also, I've always suffered from bad mouth ulcers. They went away for a couple years, but the past two weeks i've gotten multiple little ones all around my mouth. Another thing is, about a month ago I had mucus in my stool, I freaked out and didn't tell anyone. I haven't had any mucus lately. I've been getting some joint pains as well, like I can't crouch down for very long without my toes crampng up and things like that. I've really worried because colon cancer runs in my family. Can anyone please share their stories and symptoms?

Welcome to the forum. Only a proper diganosis will tell you for sure, but it maybe worth looking at what foods (and drinks like alcohol and caffine) cause stomach problems (check the food area) Make sure you drink plenty of water, and stool sofeteners like senakot may help you

btw theres no such thing as TMI on this forum, we've had a thread about the weirdest places to poo yourselves

[WIKI][/WIKI]Hey there, and Happy Christmas. Not a nice time of year to be feeling ill. I agree, you need to see a doc. For the constant peeing, you might have a bladder infection. Drink lots as was said before, but steer clear of caffeine, fizzy and sugary drinks. Cranberry juice and lemon barley can help. Heat and rest are good too, so warm bed and a heating pad.
Hope you get some answers and proper tReatment soon.
