FOUND IN DRAFTS.POSTED IN PAST DATE TEST ignore this one, Comments are off💩The Doctor, the Test and the Results💩💩💩💩
Three months ago, I went to my doctor because my bottom was hurting so bad I could not stand to sit, lay flat was the only way to get relief. It has been doing that for a year.
I told her I feared the rectocele and a cystocele I had in 1997 had come loose because
both ends leak. 🙉cover your ears,
After exam she said I think you are right, I will send you to a surgeon to see what he thinks.
Enter the surgeon, who recommends colonoscopy because he says the surgery looks fine, but you have never had a colon torture and it might fix your problem, some of you know, I have been dealing with extreme IBS symptoms for a couple of years, which has worsened in the past 6 months, caused by stress. I refused every one of the dozen times I was offered the colon torture test and did the home test and every time it was negative.
I was not worried about cancer or anything but the fact I have to wear diapers, and they make me miserable, and I hurt really badly when I sit...
I had to wait 4 weeks for the appt, with the surgeon, and he advised he did not think there was a problem with the prior surgery, I just needed to do the colon thing and the down the throat thing because i have GERD and have not had one for 20 years and never had the colon thing.I said yes. went through the torture you may have read in Why I will never have another Colonoscopy Part 1
Monday at 8 am, 2/10/2025 after waiting 2 weeks to see the doctor, they put me in the room at 8 and at 8:25 a young girl, who looks 20 but has to be at least 26, whose tag says My name is Paige, PA , rushes into the room, short of breath and says, Hi, I am Paige and sorry I am late, I was over at the hospital and could not get back here by 8. She sits down and says, give me a minute and starts to read 2 sheets of paper. She looks up and says, sorry I had to familiarize myself with your report.
Since the Doctor himself had told me he would go over the report and get me set up with probiotics and a sway to help constipation, and this is NOT the doctor, IN MY HEAD I AM Screaming WHAT???
Then reads me about 3 paragraphs of doctorspeak, and I am getting a few words here and there.
I WILL SPARE you the reading of it.
* Lots of polyps in stomach due to meds taken for 20 years for Gerd, polyps benign
* patulous anus with poor anal sphincter tone
* yhr
She said that is about it. Doctor said even though you had a POOR PREP, Doctor advises you not have another colonoscopy! He says if you were aged 50, he would order another one. Because you are over 80, and the danger of that, this will be your last one. If you were to do another, you would stay on liquid diet 2 days because poor prep means it did not get IT all.. TMI
I started laughing and said that is a good thing because I have told everyone i can talk to that this was my first and last. NOTE: she did not ask why.
What this means is due to childbirth and a hysterectomy at age 28 and the fact I am OLD
I AM GLAD I HAD IT BECAUSE I KNOW NOW WHAT IT IS and that it can't be fixed, and am finding ways to deal with it.
These things Happen. I am posting this in the PAST and hoping no one sees it, because it was in forgotten drafts and is now a MOOT point.
This is for my records because of poor memory which also has no cure. ha ha
I would like to know why I was not told of the danger to people over 80 before they did the torture test.
