I wonder if anyone can advise me, I have suffered from internal and external heamorrhoids for years and
I even had then injected once (which didnt work for long) but I hate being examined and have avoided going to the doctor since.
My real concern now is a heavy kind of dragging feeling in the anal area, sometimes it is a kind of ache in my lower back near the coxis and loads of blood in the toilet bowl.
I use oxegen based colon cleansing tablets on a regular basis because I dont have lots of fibre or water in my diet and these tablets make my stools very watery, but I still bleed on and off.
I also seem pass lots of gas when I first rise in the mornings no matter how I eat, it is really embarrassing.
Also, and I dont know if this is connected at all, but I have constant pain in my shoulders and the lower right hand side of my back underneath the shoulder blade, but sometimes it feels lower than that more like just above the wast area on the right hand side of my back.
I know my father had polops removed once and he died of cancer 5 years ago at the age of 52 but the hospital never determined where the cancer started because when it was discovered it was to advanced and had spread into every part of his body.
So, to sum up, am I at high risk of having rectal or colan cancer and do I have the symptems, or could it just be the heamorrhoids?
I would really appreciate hearing from anybody who has had the same symptoms, thanks.
