Hi just wanted to ask a quick question. I did have a colonoscopy last year and due to have one in 4 years due to finding a polyp. So recently I have been having lower back pain and hip pain and low tummy pain. A bit of constipation but it comes and goes. I did have a fit test around June and that was clear.
I have bothering the doctors and i dont think they would do another colonoscopy, but always get scared of having bowl cancer as I have ibs. Would just have these symptoms be OK to go back to docs.
Thank you.
Hi Ro12 I’d always say to go to your GP if you’re worried? I’ve attached a link to a symptoms diary that a member of the Bowel Cancer UK Board drew up which it might be helpful to complete before you go?
Take care
