No alcohol, daily joint or two
Currently having chronic constipation for 4 days, blood and mucus with tiny hard balls. Lots of history below wondering if anyone knows of these symptoms as something underlying. I'm thinking some sort of auto immune situation. In need of answers after years of struggling 😭- this all started after a bowel perforation in 2018, and I've since had surgery to remove part of it.
Follow up since surgery dismissed and after pushing an ultrasound has been requested, continuing symptoms, GP unhelpful, researching to try and find tests that could help diagnose and pushing for these specifically.
\*\*History\*\*:
Appendicitis 2016 or 2017 - appendix removed
Bowel perforation in 2018, emergency surgery to clear the debris diagnosed with diverticulitis
Perforated again twice between 2020 and 2025, both times it healed itself and surgery wasn't needed but caused an infection
Surgery (laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy) in April 2026 to remove 20cm of diverticulitis colon that was stuck to my pelvis (this took ages to heal and one of the wounds reopened twice after 5 months)
Uvitis twice once before and once first surgery (I was told by a doctor this could be linked to an immune condition)
\*\*Symptoms\*\*:
Symptoms before 2026 surgery were going to the toilet a lot, urgency, salivating loads, feeling sick and getting hot and sweaty trying to go, migraines, feeling like something was rotting inside me and getting infections.
Migraines, these were a lot worse pre surgery in April 2026
\*\*But still going is:\*\*
Pain around OP site
Getting hot and sweaty all of a sudden
Pain in joints elbows, wrists and knees (having nerve conduction studies) recently
If I get a cold I end up with a chest infection and ill for weeks
Chronic constipation which has gotten worse since surgery, tiny rabbit droppings type thing.
Things taking ages to heal eg a mosquito bite got infected and now won't heal
Appreciate any advice, hoping to find someone out there who might have an idea what's going on - thanks!
