Has a colonoscopy ever affected your neuropathy?

Posted by bcool123 @bcool123, 4 days ago

Has a colonoscopy ever affected your neuropathy I think I’m going to have to have one this week and I want to know what kind of effects it has. Not looking forward to any of it. How in the world can I keep my feet warm while that’s going on????

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

This post is for the volunteers. I wrote in several days ago about getting a colonoscopy and how that might affect my neuropathic feet. I just don’t want any extra surprises and I cannot believe how many responses I got. I hope you guys can pull all of my notes up and read them. everything from “go ride a bike” to “here’s a hug!!! This is absolutely the best website in the world for support. Thank you so much for what you do❤️❤️Bcool

This post is for the volunteers. I’m not sure my last one went through. I just want to tell you how grateful I am for this site. I wrote in a couple days ago about having to have a colonoscopy and I don’t want any extra surprises! I can’t believe how many responses I got. Everything from “go ride a bike” to “here’s lots of hugs“. This is absolutely the best website in the world for support and help. Thank you so much for being there.

I wear a thick pair of socks and put on the hospital xxl socks.
I had no problems with my neuropathy with my colonoscopy three months ago but mine in autoimmune. The problem I had was with the gastroparesis that goes with neuropathy. I had problems drinking the fluids. I called a specialist on the third try to help me.
4 days one glass of miralax.
Then 4 ducolax and one 150 mg gas x. Then try to drink miralax every 15-30 minutes. Mine had to go longer. I started at 10 am. It was successful I had to take my diuretic a couple of times to move the fluid out of my stomach.

I just had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy and I was allowed to keep my shoes and socks on which was much more comfortable for my affected foot.
