2002-2003 Finally I've been crippled wih pain in my left lower abdomen area. Renal obstruction ruled out, even though the pain was a little low for that anyhow. Barrium enema with contrast rules out any signifigant obstruction.
Tylox and Vicodin make the problem worse. I haven't work in 11 months.
So from Urologist to Gastroenteralogist to Surgeon. I finally get to the surgeon the other day, and he schedules me for an MRI LUMBAR SPINE.
I don't think that will rule out adhesions, but the doc says adhesions are not a problem if the don't cause intestinal obstruction.
Does anyone know whether an MRI LUMBAR SPINE is a test that is needed when I never Complained about a sore back?
I seem to go back and forth with constipation and diahrrea. Probably constipated mostly. The only that works for me is 3 gallons of liquid, every day.
Thanks
