During your accident, were initial tests done? Was an abdominal CT scan done to assess any injury to the underlying structures?
A history of trauma is significant.If no abdominal CT scan was done initially, I suggest that you have one right now. I also advice that you seek a prompt referral to a gastroenterologist.Blood in the stools,an abdominal mass and associated pain require further attention. A colonoscopy may be indicated.
At this point, did the ultrasound show anything?
