Hi all, I have been having few issues with rectal bleeding, pain and generally not feeling great for quite a while. Felt like something popped last week and made appointment and checked by nurse practitioner who has said she could feel lump inside which wasn't there or noticeable last time she checked. So she has referred me urgently for colonoscopy. Initially I felt relieved that after all the issues I have had I may find ally have answers. Obviously am hoping it's internal haemorroids but I am frightened both of the test and what what the results maybe. I am a control freak by nature and feel very out of control and am panicking and wishing I had gone back sooner. Also reading up about the test and feeling overwhelmed today by the prospect that in few weeks time my life may change massively. Anyone out there who can give me honest opinion on how to cope in the next few weeks and also my symptoms from being okish now seem out of control...is this because the condition whatever it is worsening or is my mind playing havoc with my body. Thanks in advance
