How can I get on with my life and let these feelings dissapear?

[MattyT123]

So I been feeling rather frustrated lately, down and annoyed with these feelings.
For 6 months I tried to ignore it, mild pain and discomfort and ceamps in my lower left side, feels like something there. Sometimes I get constipation, had blood or reddish wet tissue that smells like a dead animal a few times but not always, mostly the stool is dry and hard,  and with some mucus this past 6 months but not always. Going to the loo, farting helps releive the discomfort.
I can't think of any food making it worse, unless it's doing so without realising.

Been to the doctor about it, as it was getting intense and giving me pain in my groin which happens if I slouch which I do a lot when sitting, or crossing my legs or feet for a long time.

Urine test normal, blood test normal, he did some physical exams. He said if blood tests are normal, then it's probably nothing serious.

Anything like tumors, IBD, etc. Would blood tests be abnormal?

Would it do any harm trying OTC buscapan or things like that?

Today I got a nerve pain down my left leg and elbow. It feels hot, gets worse if I think about it.
Had this before, doctor did have a look, told me there's not much he can do, since it's fine, and suggested I see a physiotherapist.

Have sinus issues, light headedness that sometimes give me a weird feeling in my head, and tension headaches. Got a nasal spray for that.

This past 2 years I been up with all sorts of problems, most were untreatable and non existent like the mystery gum and jaw pain, and these nerve pain and stiffness in my back leg and arm.

Had blood tests, urine tests, ecg, all normal.

I been diagnosed and got treatment for social anxiety, generalised anxiety and health anxiety, CBT helps a little, but doesn't help with these feelings.

I also have GERD which flares up sometimes. These symptoms seem to have started 2 years ago after taking Omeprazole, don't know if there's a link, or this acid reflux causing my current lower left side discomfort as well.

Tried Yoga, meditation, ignoring all my symptoms, they helps a little bit, but not much. Some of the symptoms Intty to ignore stay with me until I get checked by the doctor.

There's always something wrong with me and I hate feeling like this.

I'm meant to be 29, not 92. It's annoying, especially there's no way of ending it.

Since blood tests are normal, I'm prittey much physically healthy and this is all in my head right? Can I just rely on blood test?

Is it likely this is all related to my mental health rather than physical?

I know this is hard, but I would again talk to your doctor about generalized anxiety disorder which can be involved with several of the things you are describing.  Do you still receive treatment for that in terms of medication or therapy?  I know you said it didn't really help but treatment takes time and sometimes some trial and error to find what will work best for someone.

The good news is that you've been fully checked out.  This *should* give you some reassurance.  IBS is a bit hard to diagnose.  And absolutely, chronic constipation can be part of IBS even though most people might not associate it with that.  Do you do anything diet wise to improve these symptoms?  Agree that a journal of the foods you eat to see what might be a trigger or what you can eat that doesn't result in issues would be helpful.  I also assume they've checked your gallbladder, right?  

Keep us in the loop for how you are doing.

Thanks for your answer, I don't get medication for generalised anxiety, but I been doing CBT, I find it helps, but only temporary.

I haven't done much with diet, it's hrd to know, I refuced my dairy intake, so just once for breakfast. I drink plenty of water.

The only tests that was done was the full blood test and urine test.

Well, temporary relief is better than none, right?  Plus, statistics show that therapy and medication combined work best for generalized anxiety disorder.  You don't have to take medication but am glad you are open to it.  I'd work on things like meditation, breathing and exercise to see if it helps the temporary relief last longer.

Try the food diary.  My cousin did that with her son and found a relationship with gluten.  Now gluten free is all the fad rage now, lol. But there are truly some people affected by gluten.  If you are not gluten sensitive, it is not good for you to be on a gluten free diet, however, if you are, it can make a big difference. so, watch for patterns like this.  good luck

Just because a blood test was ok, doesn't mean it's all in your head- sometimes these types of issues can take several visits and pushing for answers to get to the bottom of things- if I were you, I would go back and keep trying for answers.

Also, start a journal with the foods you are eating and note how you are feeling after- any discomfort you get, etc.  That should help in determining if the foods you are eating are playing a part.
