[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two months later and I'm still in pain.

Finally got a visit with the GI.

I got a fecal tests and yet more blood tests (because bilirubin is high) as a precaution but GI said that with a clear CT scan, it's not likely to be anything and doesn't want to do a colonoscopy.

Gi put me on 1800mg of Advil per day meanwhile to deal with the pain at least. I'm grateful for that -- I haven't been sleeping in months but didn't want to take anything before talking to the GI.

Gi thinks it's just an inflammation because CT scan was clear and Advil will resolve it if it is that simple so after 2 months of pain, bloating, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and worrying, I should have just taken Advil. That's a lesson.

If Advil doesn't resolve it, GI is going to do a follow-up visit but said that I'm likely to end up with a colonoscopy.

This is total nonsense. Inflammation in the gut is not treated via Advil. The cause of the inflammation matters. You need a different GI and you need to be scoped.[/quote]

Yeah, rare GI doctor who gives a person high dose NSAIDS which can cause ulcers, etc. Get the scopes. Have you been scoped before? if not, definitely get it, you are past due.

Also, any excuse you have to get a hysterectomy including ovaries, jump at it. I have a family history of ovarian and was advised if it's ever a treatment option for something, grab it and ask for ovaries to be included. They are nothing but trouble for people with our fmaily history once done with childbearing.[/quote]
