Should I Get a Colonoscopy ? Could It Be Cancer ? Posted: 03-10-06 13:15pm
I am a 35 year male suffering from
abdominal and back pain for six month.
The pain comes and goes. I don’t have
it almost at all at night.
It is mainly located in the right upper
quadrant, right flank and right side of
the back. I also have it but not very
often in the left side of abdomen and
flank. It moves in time of few minutes
from front to back or left to right.
I am not constipated or with diarrhea but
I noticed that my stool is flat. In the
beginning it is round shaped and firmer
(for four – five inches in length, one
inch diameter) than continues softer, flat
and twisted (one inch width, half of inch
wide).
I had done the following: complete blood
work (cbc, liver, thyroid, pylori), urine,
abdominal ultrasound, abdominal ct scan,
upper gi series, chest, abdomen and pelvis
x-ray, spine x-ray. Everything come back
normal.
The doctors couldn’t give me any
answers.
I went to an osteopath who told me that I
have the colon and small intestine
irritate and the ileocecal valve shut. He
told me that especially the right colon is
very rigid and irritate.
What do you think I should do further ?
Could it be ibs ? I am worried about
colon cancer. Should I have a colonoscopy
done ?
