Could it be colon cancer? Or am I overlooking this?!
Question: I have sharp pain that seems to be in the colon, but I am not 100 % sure, I can't go much at all, and I feel extremely full / bloated.
It's been 4 days now. I feel exactly the same. I tried laxatives, meds, everything I could, but i feel the same way.
Is it cancer? Does this sound like it could be? I'm only in my early 20's and there's no family history.

When someone has colon cancer they usually bleed from the bowel. Though hemorrhoids can bleed too there usually is blood in your stood too. If you haven't noticed any bleeding I'd have to say it sounds as if you are constipated or perhaps having symptoms of IBS. Get it checked regardless. Just being constipated can make you ill quite fast as it poisons your system. FYI a family member has had colon cancer. Take care.
It will be best if you have it checked out by a doctor. My mom has just been recently diagnosed with cancer of the colon and she had a bloated stomach for over three months. She was always constipated and lost a lot of weight. At first doctors could not really tell what was wrong. They had to do some xrays and stool examination before they could really tell. I suggest you visit your local hospital, they might be able to help you.
