My CRS recommended a colonoscopy first. After that we are going to seriously discuss surgery. I don't seem to have a tight sphincter, but I know that I'm having problems passing normal sized BM's unless they are exceptionally soft. I was trying to rehab a strained abdominal muscle first, but things just aren't going well that way, so it's time to prioritize the AF instead.
What really complicates things is 2 weeks ago I had to go to the ER due to an allergic reaction to which I have no clue what caused it. This REALLY messed up my GI track because it was something I ate and at first, when it became difficult to swallow, I tried to bring it up...but there was nothing to bring up. I feel like I really hurt my GI track with that stunt and haven't felt the same since. So know that I need an endoscopy, I just decided that I'm going to get the colonoscopy done at the same time. Plus is makes me feel better that my CRS is doing it and not a Gastro dr.
