I had all the rectal test and failed some, not all. I also did pelvic floor PT and acupuncture for two years. Along with that I did visceral massage. She taught me how to do that nightly which I do almost always. I think I just have no natural movement left to my colon, it’s been so long. I’m never passing hard stool or needing to push feeling. I take so many laxatives followed by enemas in the morning it’s easy to pass if and when it does. It’s not often. I’ve had a lot of other surgeries and it seems you buy maybe 5 years if your lucky before scar tissue sets into the wrong places, age more and the pain just starts all over. I just don’t know if at 70, do I want to do it and deal with a bag. I’ll go for last opinion but in the end it’s still my decision . So much to consider. I wish you the best and hope August visit will have answers. It’s also a lot of flying for all the follow ups.
