Hi Sharon,
I have had scar tissue (on and near my colon) from a surgery in Feb 2002
(the surgery removed a cist on my left ovary, the cist was adhered to my
colon). I felt great for about six months, then I started feeling pain
in my bowels/rectum/colon are for about eight months now. The pain is
really bad after I have a bowel movement. I went to an acupuncturist
who was highly recommended. He said it was scar tissue and that he has
had success clearing it up. After my first treatment (which was last
week), I feel better than I have in months. NO pain in my bowels since
the treatment. My insurance doesn't cover acupuncture, so I have to pay
for it myself, but so far, it has helped me a lot.

ok, but i suffered the same for years untill i found glycerin suppositories
in the chemist. they are with the pile creams . you just insert into rectum
and bobs your uncle, they cause a bowel movement and you go. depending on
how much you need to go this will take between a few seconds and a few
minutes. i have used them successfully for years and have no side
effects.............hope you are now well. if not TRY THESE......I CANNOT
RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH.....lol sharon.
