Hello all, 29/male here.

For about 7 months now, I've had a pain in my upper right quadrant. It feels like a golfball is shoved up under my right ribcage. Also, the area is completely numb to the touch. I am also having bouts of thin stools, and after I use the restroom, sometimes I still feel like I have to go. The pain in my URQ usually kicks in for roughly 2-4 hours per day and then lets up, usually at night.

There has been bright red blood on the toilet paper a few times over the last 6 months (not an everyday occurence by any means), as well I've been having a slight anal discharge. It's not bloody, more oily and I have to change my underwear several times per day on bad days. I am scared to get intimate with women because of it. The rectal area also sweats and itches like crazy (it drives me absolutely insane!) so I believe this may be hemmorhoids, but I am not sure.

Anyway, the pain in my right side is intense sometimes. So much that I have to lay down. A few months ago I went to the ER. They did a blood test and ultrasound. Everything came back completely fine. They said all my organs looked healthy. There was no follow up. They just said it was IBS, gave me some pills, and sent me home.

Well, now it's a few months after my ER visit and nothing is better. I don't know what to do. I am going through a rough financial time, but I'm scraping enough together to get some basic health insurance. I am becoming scared and I already have anxiety, so I am worrying myself away.

In the meantime I've started taking a fiber supplement, walk 2 miles per day, and have started to eat better (less fatty foods, more vegetables, etc). The pain still persists.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your replies and God bless.
