margaretsmith328,
Mine is on and off, in small intestines. And I have had 17 years of CIC, under the care of the same GI, the whole time. ( his name is dr. Arrogant-Ignore.)I just found out, 1 year ago, by accident that I have a redundant splenic flexure In large intestine- an extra length of colon, making the 💩have to travel through more turns and more miles of colon before it can get out. I am 65 also, I have decided that I do not like getting older because everything is worse and wearing out.
Since you are 65 and have suffered a very very long time, why did it take so long to diagnose? What have your symptoms been? What type of doctor diagnosed you? How did you get the diagnosis? Do you have other related symptoms? I am so sad, no pissed off, that you have had to suffer for so long. ShelleyW
