Mother had colorectal cancer.

I began having serious abdominal pain below and to the right of my belly button 2 years ago.

Had an armada of scans done, followed by colonoscopy. Doctor said I was clear.

Pain and flat stools remain. Pain never stops.

Is a colonoscopy fool proof? Is it possible they missed it, or could this be something else?

Thank you!

Meeting with the surgeon again next week. We'll see what he says.

Can I ask, what other issues can cause chronic pain right around appendix area, for years, and occasional flattened stools?

As above, I've cleared colonoscopy and have never found blood in my stool.

Warning: Gross

I'm in the same boat. Cleared a colonoscopy but symptoms remain. Would love to know how trustworthy these tests are.

I'd imagine these tests have a high degree of accuracy.

Second this question ^
