Chris,
I still am confused on the test you had today. what are they checking
for, I see my pcp june 8th, and I hope he does something to check all
these problems, just like you I am sick of feeling like this!
keep us informed, I feel funy asking about colorectal surgeon, but I
think all the trouble I am having trying to move bowels, I better!
