So it’s been over12 weeks since my urgent referal. I’ve been in pain all that time
symtons are sudden lower back pain with hrs lump on lower left lumbar area. Shooting pain. Weight loss. Nausea. No appetite. Food tasting funny. Aching in lower back/ bottom area that on and off feel warm to touch. On and off sweats. Blurred vision. Bowel problems, cramps, wind, sudden diarrhoea and constipation. Bowels don’t feel empty. If not diarrhoea my poo is like thin ribbons., mucusy. Difficulty weeing, have to push hard to get a drip. And the last couple of weeks also muscle pain. Balance off, upper back sore, muscles on and off feeling bruised. Probably misssd some off the symptoms as there are loads. but generally feeling dreadful and so tired.
. I had a spinal MRI which showed no nerve compression but there were incidental findings
-abnormal right kidney with large parapelvic cysts
-suspected mass in right adrenal gland
- mild left para-aortic retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy in mid abdomen
And also mild multi level ffacet joint osteoarthritis in lower 3 lumbar levels
-mild lumbar spondyllosis
-small central posterior disc bulge at L4/5 and L5-S1
It’s the first 3 that worry me more. I have a ganglioneuroma in right kidney that was found 5 years ago. It was benign and I’m an awkward place so had to leave it only way to take it out would have been to take my kidney with it
Went to get some more painkillers fromP and she send a stool sample and a FIT test
so if anyone has managed to get this far and can shed any light I would appreciate it as I’m going out of my mind.
they are discussing both MRIs tomorrow at the MDT and then I hope I’ll know what’s going on.
it’s been so so long and I’m concerned and fed up of hurting.
Does anyone recognise these symptoms?
thanks everyone xx
