Sorry you’re dealing with this now - hopefully your results will show nothing serious and you can continue to move on.
Question about the CT scan with rectal contrast.
How painful was it? Enough to wish you had taken mild pain pill beforehand?
They attempted to do one 4 weeks after my resection, and I about came out of my skin and could not tolerate it at all!
Now, almost 6 months later I will be having one as a pre-op to my ileostomy reversal. So of course I’m worried about the pain level.
Thanks!
