Hi there. New to the forum and could do with some guidance.
I have repeatedly visited my gp for the last 8/10 years with stomach issues. Repeated diarrhea, pain, bloating like I'm 9mnths pregnant, blood in stool,. Sometimes the pain is so intense for a few days that I can barely stand/walk. In am tired most of the time and have chronic lower back / sacraillioc joint paint that wakes me through the night.
I've finally got referred for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. They found inflammation of my rectum, and 2 x ulcers in my terminal ilieum. I have received my biopsy results back today. They say :
Mild inflammation of the rectum - biopsies of this were normal.
The ascending colon biopsy was focal active inflammation - which is of Minimal significant.
Ileal biopsies did show mild inflammation with some chronic features.
As the endoscopic appearance was mild with only 2 aphthoid ulceration which is in the normal range, the overall picture is no-diagnostic.
I feel like crying. 10 years is taken me to get this far, numerous toilet achieve and pain, and they're saying this is just normal?!
Can anyone help??
