I hope that you will continue to keep us informed of your progress and results regarding your pain. I think there are a lot of us that may have multiple problems that may or not be related to our adhesion problems but it is important to know what others have found out. It has helped me with my "communication" problem with my doctors to discuss other options of what may be causing my pain and as I also have back problems I definitely would like to hear about what you are going through. I think that I am experiencing this type of referal pain that you have mentioned. As I wrote earlier, the bowlel inflamation that showed up in the biopsy was in the left colon area. I also have a rather large left ovarian cyst that could be aggravating the pain. I was surprised to hear that they did not do a biopsy when they did your colonoscopy. As in my case, things don't always show up to the naked eye but do under the microscope. I do apologize if I opened a can of worms and upset anyone. Please continue to post as we need all the support and advice that we can get. Take care. Ginny
