my husband bleeds in his stools red blood its not black and sometimes vomits blood, he has alot of pain to his left side sometimes up high in his stomach the doctors tell him its a muscle strain. but his pain is unbarable and the blood in his stool is alot.i am very concered what could be the cause?
The man is vomiting blood & has blood coming from the rectum, and they're calling it muscle strain!?! This sounds like malpractice!
Your husband needs to be seen by a good Gastroenterologist, NOW! I would be worried that he may have a bleeding ulcer. But, he needs to be correctly diagnosed, NOW. We can't do this over the internet, so PLEASE take him to a good ER, NOW!
I wish you the best.
Sincerely, Concerned lady
