Hi riv2ga, great to see your colonography pic thank you for sharing👍 but I am sorry you've been through so much too😢 I assume you have a stoma now? And the chronic, acute pain goes on?
Sounds like your Dr's/Surgeons cover each others arses too when the occasion arises 😩 In my last email to the Gastro Dr who will be doing my colonoscopy, I told him I require a written & pictorial record of everything he finds as I don't want my kids or Grandkids to have to produce pix of their 'Mothers' x-rays showing my tortuous colon & gnarly obstruction, to Dr's should they ever develop such bowel problems. I'm expecting to leave the clinic with a copy of the procedure on USB stick.
I have had chronic, very sharp pain in my vagina too since the bowel transit study. Being so blocked up must have created a shift in where a lot of the small loops sit in the lowest part of my abdomen - not even 10mls of morphine, and a full syringe of lidocaine applied internally, can ease it.
I know every little movement/bump whilst having the colonoscopy is going to be very, very painful so will ask my local clinic for a script of the strong numbing gel they use for men having a catheter put it.
Have any of you had such pain caused by your tortuous colon, in the vagina?
Again, thanks for sharing your colonography pix, riv💞
I so wish I'd found this website years ago. If anyone has a story of successful surgery could you please share💞
