Are you following up with your doctor to go over the results?

Hi Zig,
yes,have followed up with doctor.Am now going to have a colonoscopy to see whats going on....im really scared.I saw a consultant today,and he said he will do the colonoscopy for me as i am so anxious,but i am using my private medical insurance,he said if i wasnt going privately he probably wouldnt of suggested it,and would of left it to see if all settled down.I just feel like gas is blowing me up on my right side/bowel ,and it hurts.any ideas,i would be most grateful..
