Hi, Rose, It makes you wonder all the tests didn't show anything. The Dr.'s office said the xrays and the Pelvic/abdominal CAT scans were "normal." I had a colonoscopy in early April. She said she had no trouble getting scope all the way through. I hurt a lot today, and I am headed for exhaustion. It feels as if loose stool won't move . I am a nervous wreck. Millie
