Pancreatic Cancer fear, stool

[Scared1234]

The pains in my tummy area are definitely more of a poke and a short stab. None of the pains last long. In my back, I have some sharp pains. It worries me I have pain by my left shoulder blade that gets very sharp at time. I’m going to ask my chiropractor if that could be from that rib. Fingers crossed this is the only thing causing issues with me. But, my mind can’t put pancreatic cancer to rest!
Do you have the same stabbing and poking pain?

 

[kristinelorraine]

yes, i also had the stabbing and poking pain in my stomach, sides and on the back. it comes and goes. it is definitely trapped gas. if you would search my thread about light colored stools you will see some helpful advices shared by others. hope this helps.

I also wondered if the shoulder pain might be trapped gas too. Although, I haven’t felt extra gassy. The alka seltzer tabs I took for the tummy burning had a gas med in it too.

thanks for easing my mind. i am scheduled for a colonoscopy on january. i hope it is just ibs. my stool now is alternating between soft, diarrhea and constipated.

I'm kind of going through the same thing, due to anxiety and an antibiotic I'm on for a sinus/chest infection. It's not fun. Having that exam in January should put your mind at ease a little more! But yeah, there is no reason to think it's anything more serious than some IBS and anxiety irritation.

i was thinking it could be ibs too as i always have to rush every morning to the bathroom. but the pale stool is what giving me anxiety.
my stools are always soft like it crumbles easily when dropped in water. it's mostly light-yellowish brown but last week it was very, very pale like almost white. it stayed for 2 days but now it's back to being light-yellowish brown again. im so depressed over this. i dont know what test i should to do ease my mind.
im scheduled for a colonoscopy in january but it's my pancreas that's giving me the anxiety right now.

Hey sir do you have an update on your pale stool what did the doctor say?
