I am 25
one year ago my back went out.. I pulled it and caused a dislocated disk last year because i I used to work at a lumber yard..
Ive been going to doctors every now and then and ive been having financial issues and transportation issues so:
Getting to my appointmets was hard enough- So this was slow progressing on finding out whats going on.
Now I found out that from my mom's side that she has colon cancer in the family.. IBS irritatble bowel and .. also Scoliosis..
I have bloating and abdominal pain is has become chronic now and the doc that said I had Arthritis told me she wanted to attempt to clear my bowel issue: it was the first thing: she gave me lactosus. or something like that: And Ive changed my diet to try and produce a bowel movemnt.. This was on tuesday: No bowel movement yet: Just watery stool.
I also have numbness and needle like tinglings all over in my upper back too and in my arms and chest.. its just gotten worse: its progressing faster.
Then I talked to my friend who said his friend's father said he experienced the exact same symptons and it was because of cancer.. although they couldnt treat him one because it got to severe and he was too old. he was in his 50's.
My mother did say we have colon cancer in our family.. so that being said.. is it possible that these symptoms could match up with a type of cancer? Or cancer in the bowels or back? Would Kindey stones cause these kinds of symptoms?..
If there is anything else that the urology responder wants to ask feel free. I will try to be brief much as possible. ...
This is a update as on saterday and sunday I had to go to the hospital and twice in the ER.. i got very dizzy and nearly passed out.. on Sunday night I had an MRI of the lower back and a Xray done.. Unfortunately.. no damage or anything abnormal was found..
So now..I don't know what to do.. I have also have been exposed to lead in the past but im wondering if Ive over done my self... I do soldering hobbies that do involve Lead contact.. but I wonder if i had exposer to many times over the years..
The night I went in to the ER.. I lost blood flow entering my penis.. and it became dead cold and contracted to my body cavity of the pelvis.. it stayed that way for nearly an hour and my lower abdomen was hurting all of my back was hurting and pain and fire like sensations was going through my legs also my penis turned nearly blue and was pale it went completely numb.. and it hurt badly in the entire length. I was very upset.. that was when they x-rayed my entire intestenal track and the doctor said everything was fine but I prolly have a weak bowel movement in the intestines.. Like they where just slow and advised me to take fiber and metimucil.. which I have been doing.. But it only helped a little to ease the cramping.. I still have bowel issues.. But the main concern is the pain from my back.. And Now.. every time i stand up.. or sit up.. my penis contracs up againts my pelvic cavity and it hurts badly in the middle to the very base and inside my pelvic region... when I lay down it relaxes and becomes soft and doesn't hurt.. and it uncontracts from the pelvic cavity.
my legs also stop hurting and my back stops hurting a little..
I have been getting headaches and dizzy spills lately and they have gotten worse over time..
So basicaly.. I don't know what else could be going on.. Is it possible the nerve issue could be in the middle to upper back I do get pain in my neck badly too.
