Hi all i am trying to get a diagnosis. I am have bad pain 4 weeks ago to left handside of abdomen. Went to docs had ultrasound scan showed nothing but previously had also unexplained pain in left arm felt like tendons inflammed and pain under ribs etc. Looking at google think this is lymph nodes. Went to A and E 2 weeks ago as in pain and unable to pass anything. Doc gave me laxatives and told me to go to own gp if i think its cancer. Have also been to emergency doc as it was weekend with further pain. Went GP they did fit test and blood test still waiting these to come back but am in pain has moved to top of stomach area and my left side is swollen. Asked Gp for Colonoscopy they have just sent letter to hospital but its not urgent as i checked. Also i have passed some jelly like mucus substances previously but i did not realise what it was what can i do am in pain all the time but carrying on for kids and partner. Any advice??
Reading your post, sounds like you have to wait for correct diagnosis from your GP....& where to go next. I don't think anyone here could advise you...as you mention so many pains/ conditions. Unfortunately, you will always have to wait for results for any tests....they can sometimes take weeks.In the meantime, trust your GP, it's the best route. All the best.
