Hello. I am almost 4 months post takedown and I have been on here posting a couple of times about my issues with straining, incomplete emptying etc and it continues to be a problem for me.
A few weeks ago I ended up at the er due to all the pain I was having with straining. They did a few tests and sent me home. The results came through my chart, no one actually discussed them with me. They did a ct scan (normal), pouchoscopy (normal) and barium X-ray. The barium X-ray was normal except it does say “a short segment of narrowing is noted at the illeoanal anastomosis that approximately measures .8 cm in diameter. This is non obstructing and contrast moves through this area without delay or holdup.”
I thought maybe this was the cause of my issues found finally, but no one called me. I called them (my surgeon, they are not good at getting back to me ever) and they called me back 5 days later to say that since I’m no longer in pain and this is non obstructing they don’t need to do anything.
Well that was a week and a half ago and the issues have continued, and the discomfort is returning. I did call them first thing this morning but who knows when I will hear back.
Does anyone with any knowledge know if that is enough to be causing my issues? If the stool is liquid I can pass it no problem, but anything thicker and it’s a huge problem! If it’s not the answer, I am at a loss as to what to do next and they seem to not really care
