My Gi said no, but my hubby is very, very health conscience (diet--works out regularly), but he has a bad back which used to give him trouble all the time. It isn't nearly as ba since he works out regularly, but he says that eveytime his back is out, his BMs are all screwed up.
It is still a good idea to rule out any other serious possibilities first--better to err on the side of safety.
I see a urologist next week. However, this GI dr is now changing his tune a little and told my hubby that "maybe" this could all be caused by a fall I had two months ago. Before he said "no".
So...I was wondering, have you had any kind of fall or accident lately where your lower back could be out?
Anyhow, let me know how your colonoscopy turns out.
Also, have you ever had any surgeries before (e.g. appendix or anything in you stomach or pelvic area)??
Glad to hear your colonoscopy was clear. What is next for you? I'll let you know how mine goes.
Had the colonoscopy today--all clear. The prep was a lot worse than the procedure.
They still have not found a cause for this pain I have in my left side or the change in stools. At this point, I am running out of ideas.
Let me know how yours turns out!!
My stool were smaller in size too. But, now with a clear colonoscopy they are saying IBS or stress? So, I wouldn't get real alarmed at the change in stool size thing. It seems that can be caused by conditions other than colon cancer.

Did you have your colonoscopy this week?
