I also am sorry that you felt that because you didn't get a response to your qeustion that people didn't care.  That honestly is not the case.  This forum is a patient to patient discussion forum, NOT an expert forum, therefore, we are not able to, nor permitted to, give any diagnoses, etc.  We are here to share information, talk to one another, lend moral support - not to give medical advice.

I understand your not wanting to spend more money for another opinion, however, in order to be properly diagnosed and treated, you will need to either go back to the doctor that performed these tests or go to another doctor for another opinion.

You could also post your question/video on the gastro EXPERT forum here on Med Help.  The expert forums are monitored by actual physicians on their own time, and they may be able to give you a medically sound opinion.  However, it is important to remember that these physicians ARE monitoring and answering questions on their OWN time, they are NOT paid by MH to do so, therefore, you may not receive an immediate response if the doctor/s monitoring the forum have other responsibilities.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you feel better soon.

I hope my comment won't make you feel worse.  I recently had a bowel resection due to a cancer in my bowel.  The picture in the colonoscopy looked like it was "inflamed".  The biopsy said it was cancer.  As the others have told you, you need to have your Gastroenterologist diagnose you.  If you have no confidence in him or her get another opinion from another Gastroenterologist.  Thank heavens my cancer was stage 1 and it was taken care of before the neccessity of chemo etc.  Waiting could cost you much more than the $40.  Please get an opinion from a specialist who knows what he or she is talking about SOON.  Best wishes.

hello you need to get back and see your surgeon as people have stated to you that we aren't doctor's on here so we cant look at a picture and give you a diagnoses. Please see your Doctor as soon as possible. Hope u feel better real soon!! Take care.

I'm sorry it's not that nobody wants to help, we are not qualified to look at your photos and tell you what is wrong.  Call your Gastroenterologist and make an appt. to sit down with him and have HIM explain what is going on.  This should have been done at the time you were video taping these.  It's his job, and responsibility to explain everything to you, and don't leave his office until you completely understand everything.  I'm sorry you felt we didn't care, we do.  We just aren't educated to know what we are seeing, your doctor is and he is working for YOU, so he dropped the ball by not telling you what you are looking at.  Go back and get answers.  Take care.....
