I had a colonoscopy about three months ago..Only remember one place
where adhesions are blocking colon....Very painful, but that is all I
remember about it. I had a polop removed and the report from the Dr.
enforces the fact tat the colon is blocked due to adhesions. Iam hoping
that report is "Evidence" to my dr's that I am not crazy and that I need
help! My friend had a colonoscopy thinking she had adhesions too, but
does not.....She does have diverticulosis which is treatable and
manageable.....and I thank God she doesn't have adhesions.....Would be a
good idea to have it done.....
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
