I have been sufferring with severe bowel problems since a hysterectomy 4 years ago.The symptoms are consistent with a partial(sometimes total) bowel obstruction with severe pain bleeding p.r. infection and very abnormally thin stools which are frequent(in xs.7-8x daily and uncontrollable.I have now been referred to a surgeon who is planning to do atotal colectomy as he has found severe proctitis .I do not believe all my symptoms are due to the colitis as they have been present since the operationand colonoscopies performed at that time were negative.I have asked for an MRI scan to be done to exclude the possibility of any adhesions .Is this the right examination? and are there any other investigative procedures worth performing.(I did suffer with a post operative bowel obstruction starting on day 6 I HAVE CONTINUED TO SUFFER SINCE.) Many thanks for any help Karen M.
