Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

Elizabeth, I hear you and I feel your pain. I am in the same position and was forced to have a hysterectomy. Turns out my uterus had a fibroid growing on it, but it wasn't able to be imaged bc my colon covered so much space. Fast forward a year, i have still been in the ER for abdominal pain from ovarian cysts and painful-near proliferation like symptoms. For the last 6 months no one has been able to image my right ovary with transvaginal or abdominal ultrasounds. Gyn's send you to Gastro's and vice versa. Both send you to Psych or Neuro. I am grateful for the hysterectomy though. Gave my tummy more room, but now over a year later my organs seem to shift even more. Looking into resection surgery bc I feel like I'm losing my mind

Hi, I have a torrutous colon/Diverticulosis/ibs-c. TC caused IBS-c, which caused Diverticulitis attacks. I am scheduled for resection this month. Decided to do before it became an emergency But, in past had issues with scans due to colon being in the way.
