Hi I'm knew here and I am wondering if someone would know what a volvulius redundent colon is?
Its a little confusing as I have been diagnosed by a gyne duing an laproscope to remove endometriosis and I am now waiting to see a colorectal consultant.
I've had Endo for about 16 years but I was only diagnosed in August 2008, when symptoms were getting really bad!
Since having that op I have gone for bad to worse.
The pain has changed (a lot worse), I have had blood in my bowel movements, constipation and vomiting. I have seen a gastroenterologyst who has done a GI, a colonoscopy and a CT scan. He found I've got a hiatus hernia, I've had a duodinal ulcer and I have a cyst in my liver. Apparently none of these should cause the pain and probs I've got.
Gyne decided to go in again incase it was adhesions from the first op but didn't find any (removed more endo). He had a look at my bowel incase my endo was going into the bowel and he came across this redundant colon!
I can't understand why it wasn't picked up on CT scan or Endoscope.
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am really fed up of pain, appointments, op's and procedures and it is getting to the piont where I can't see light at the end of the tunnel and am wondering if this pain is going to be for life.
Thank you for reading his even if you can't help.
I am wishing you all the best of health.
