Ok, back in May, my VA doctor prescibed some Methocarbamol, the generic of Robaxin. I took it for two or three weeks and all but stopped having any bowel movements. When they did occur, it was very painful and strained. I talked to my doc and she told me to stop taking them. I eat about 30 or so grams of fiber every day and am 36yrs old. I am concerned now that it might be the beginings of colon cancer. Some of the symptoms I am experiencing are: Change in shape of my bowel movenments, mucus occassionally is in my stool, blood is sometimes in my stool, I will wake up at 5am with gas cramps and have to go to the restroom where the only thing that usually comes out is what appears to be a blood clot with mucus in it sometimes. I have two to three bowel movements a day and am in relative good health. I did make a doctor's appt today, but can't get in until next Thursday. I have been getting pretty anxious about this over the last couple of weeks and was just curious as to whether anyone had any insight into my prob?
Thanks in advance,
