There are too many medications to mention.
Nothing has worked over 10 years!
I’ve had 3 colonoscopies in the last 3 years. Several catch phrase diagnosis's.
My last effort to get diagnosed and treated will be Mayo.

@gagent Let us know how the appointments go. If no one else has found the answer, they will probably want all new testing in case other physicians missed something.

I wonder. I’ll bring it up at my appointment, but I have a 3cm aortic aneurysm, in my lower abdomen area. Could that affect my colon in any way?
I get it checked once a year. No change in the size since first discovered in 2018 by routine exam.

I had my appointment in Jacksonville yesterday.
After many questions, they think I may have Lower Anterior Resection Syndrome.
Going for CT scan in two weeks.
No one has ever mentioned that possible diagnosis.
Anyone in hear had that diagnosis??

The Aortic aneurysm did not seem to be the reason for my problem.
Right now, it appears to be the Resection, probably caused by the Fistula surgery in 2012.
CT will show more. I’ll keep you posted on the CT results. Thanks.

2 ReactionsMy appointment is 9/1 in Jacksonville.
I expect they’ll eventually do a ultrasound and colonoscopy.
