Terrified
47 years old. I had knee surgery almost 2 weeks ago and after the surgery I took the prescribed narcotics for 4 days. Every time I take these I get constipated. I started taking stool softeners (colace) and after a week nothing. I did a Fleet enema and finally 9 days after surgery I had a BM and it was

wegovy
hi has anyone used wegovy. As a weight loss drug and found it to have a negative impact on PA ? I have some atrophic gastritis and get pain from time to time and I’m tempted to try the wegovy but don’t want to further irritate my guts or compound problems.

I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
He is confident that it is cancer but doesn't know what stage. He has referred me to a good surgeon, whose office will call me next week to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, he gave me a referral for a "CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis with PO & IV Contrast." He wants to see if the cancer has spread

Pain/flare up
Although I have probably had IBS symptoms for years and years it has escalated for the past 3 months into something more permanent and painful. Is it usual to have constant pain, or maybe its cramps or spasms, a lot of the time or during a flare up? Although I am on low dose amitriptyline, mebeverine

Gluten free diet
Hi all, hope you’re not suffering too much today. Just wanted to bring to your attention an article I was reading today about gluten, which you can find on google. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-celiac_gluten_sensitivity I’ve recently been trialing a gluten free diet, which has helped me considerably

QUICK TAPER; CRP RISING STEADILY; FLARING
As suspected, the very quick taper rheumy thought up (2.5 mg per week til I get to 10, then reducing 1 mg per month), has caused a flare and I'm in pre-PMR pain - almost). Currently at 12 mg but should be down to 9 by now, if I was to go with her guidelines. GP refuses to let me up the pred saying "it's

First time Colonoscopy
I have my first colonoscopy on Thursday the 14th. I have been given Picolax. I am concerned about the prep as my friend told me you don't have time to get up the stairs to the toilet, and I should stay upstairs after taking the prep solution; is this correct? I'm really not sure about the sedative
