My daughter in law has an AVM on her calf. I know there is a support group. You should check it out.

1 Reaction@hrant, Good Morning. Congratulations for maintaining your protocal colonoscopy schedule. My husband and I recently had our scheduled routine procedure, too. I do not have any experience with your condition and the reason that I am comfortable to reply, is that you said - non emergency question. I feel confident that you would seek emergency treatment if it were indicated.
After each of our colonoscopies, we were given an oral and a written summary, very basic. The doctor, the nurse, the summary sheet all indicated for us to call if we had any complications or questions. I don't believe that these calls are meant to be emergency only. Did you receive such information? Have you thought about a phone call?
I look forward, to hearing from others who share your medical condition to share their experience with you. I know that is what you are looking for.
