I've just yesterday been diagnosed with IBS. I'd been having hiriffic abdominal pains and other such symptoms, so have been put on some meds for it and such..

I don't know if this is related, or if it's to do with a recent rape where one of the guys tried to have **** sex with me, but.. *is embarrassed* Everytime I 'go', I bleed, and it's been really, really painful for quite a few weeks now.. Although it's died down, it's still really painful and has had me reduced to tears.. So.. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do.. To just leave it another few weeks (on top of the 8 weeks I've left it so far), and see if it goes away, or to go back to the dr about it and see what he says..

I've shied away from seeing the dr about it because I'm so embarrassed! I hate going to the dr's as it is, although I don't mind when I see the dr I now see regularly, for mental health check ups. But, I'm just.. Kinda stuck with what I should do..

Anyone got any clues?

Oh, and another thing.. Had some stitches in my leg 6 days ago, because I cut quite badly and I can barely walk today. My leg's so achey and painful, along with it giving way now and then. I don't know whether to go back to the hospital to get it checked out tonight, or just wait until my 10 days is up to have the stitches out.. I've got choir in 15 minutes, which means standing up for an hour. If I can't walk at all without my leg giving way, or without collapsing, I'll go to the hosp. But for now, I'm not sure what to do.

Sorry for the whinge!
