Answer 1

My mother in law had the same symptoms as you described, it turned out (after 2 of months running test on her) that it was irritable bowel syndrome. The doctor gave her some medication for it and after 2 or 3 days she was back to her normal self. Just ask your doctor if this could be a possibility in your case if he says no, then suggest he have a colonoscopy run on you to provide a definite decision on your symptoms. Best of luck to you, nobody should have to be in pain...

Answer 2

Call your Dr. back and tell him/her what is going on.  Steroids are a healing drug and might help yo  on this.  Dont wait another 4 wks.  There aree meds to help you.  So dont hesitate.
