( I have posted a couple of days ago.)
I have had a K-pouch since 1976. Dr. Joel Bauer in NYC.
A few days ago I began having what feels like little spasms in the pouch area. They last for a few moments and I may not experience any more, for a few hours later. I have no cramps. No nausea. Pouch yields stool when I intubate. None of the classic symptoms of a partial blockage.
Dr. Bauer says I may still have a partial obstruction. And if it does not soon clear up - he wants me to get a ct-scan or x-rays.
I would feel kind of silly going to the hospital and asking for a ct scan because I have some twitching in my abdomen.
Any comments? Any K-pouchers who have had this? Or, have you had the more classic symptoms of a partial
obstruction?
Thanks in advance.
