colonoscopy results!!
Hi All
Well just had my first colonoscopy - hated every minute of it! There were two doctors there - one was more experienced and he had to takeover twice to get round some difficult areas - all very uncomfortable!!
But they gave me a report and this is what is says:
'A difficult colonoscopy due to very acute angles of the splenic and hepatic flexure. The illeocaecal valve appeared obviously inflammed and the illeal opening appeared stenosed and would not allow the scope to enter. Biopsies taken from this area and from the other segments of the colon (biopsies taken in total).'
I have an appointment with the specialist on the 24th Dec and will get the biopsie results then.
The diagnosis on the report says 'Inflammatory bowel disease and likely crohns involvement of the terminal ileum'.
Ive been told to carry on taken my Pentasa but the doctor wants to review the medication on the 24th!
Not sure why im telling you all this but its nice to be able to tell people who kind of understand!! I feel a bit better knowing they saw something! Just wish this cramping feeling would go!!
