Just had rectocele surgery... Supposedly causes no "discomfort" been tellin em n they been agreein for the most part that my problem is adhesions... This colonoscopy I was diagnosed with tortuous colon cause they could barely get the camera thru. But THAT doesn't cause any "discomfort" either, which makes NO sense to me, but they still agreed I probably am suffering from adhesions but, as we all know, they don't wanna mess with em for fear of more. Well, I wish to high heaven n beyond I had "discomfort" the top surgeon in the area I consulted with when diagnosed with the tortuous n he said nothin could be done. I ended up on ANOTHER blocked bm that had me screamin for 5 days. I called em n said I'll take the risk. It took 25 years to get to this, how fast they gonna grow more n they might even grow the opposite direction, right? Then I looked it up, don't know why in that order... maybe cause I was POSITIVE it's all the adhesions in the exact spot all 3 scars meet. As I read the info I had tears pourin off my face down my chest, I sobbed, I was relieved I found proof, pissed they didn't address it when I showed up doubled over n sobbin in agony. When it's the ONLY thing left it could be n they KNEW that's what it is n STILL brushed it off with absolutely NO ADVICE OR INSTRUCTIONS, JUST, "LIVE WITH IT" ... WE know our bodies better n they NEED to start listenin to US! In little over 5 weeks I will get my relief... Because I REFUSED TO BE IGNORED!

Good luck to you!! Being told to “live with it” is a poor solution.

@personalhell Good for you, being so persistent. You are right, we do know our own bodies best but it can a while to get through to some doctors. I hope your surgery goes well and you get the relief you need. Please let us know how things are after the surgery is over.
