blood in stool

Post by jmayk8 »

So for the past few days I have notices red blood when I wiped, I think I posted about it but can't remeber and can't look back bc I'm at work...Anyways, I have been noticing the red blood inside my stools. My stool is formed and then I look at it and it looks like little strands of red blood. I know it is bc I've picked it out and examined it (ew, i know). I have also been experiencing HORRIBLE leg pain (frontal) for the past few weeks along with a weird pain in the back of my head when I lay down on my pillow and when I tip my head down to wash my face. Any Ideas of what could be going on? My D has been pretty much under control too, so that's why I'm so confused.
Thanks
Jenny

Hey Jenny,

Yeah you have posted before... I've added the link to that here for you to find as i can't think of anything to add.

Your leg pain and headache point to a nerve problem - maybe a pinched nerve or a slipped disk in your back. I'd probably see a chiropractor for that. The blood still sounds like hemorrhoids if it's fresh. By chance did you eat watermelon recently? I did and it looked like red blood streaks in the stool. Then I realized it went through partially digested!

If it is bright red blood, then it is probably coming from your rectum, which is no big deal. Try using a cortisteriod cream on the outside of your rectum.
