I ended up in ER on Friday, 2 days of a lot of rectal bleeding, of course no source (probably a hemeroid). The ER doc said it was either colon or adhesions. Had a CT scan run, but without contrast since they couldn't get an IV in my veins. Showed I have a cyst on left where prior surgery, but of couse not adhesions. Surgeon came in (thank God my husband showed up by now) and was so rude to me! Said "well you know you aren't 16 anymore" and "do you chew your food"! I was so humiliated and angry again. I was doing ok on soft foods and liquids, but even today I am in pain and sick. I'm so tired of being nauseous. Anyway, I go in Thursday for a Colonoscopy, even though the surgeon will not find anything. I have finally broke down and called my sister (a nurse, her husbands an anesthegiologist) and she is going to contact a friend of hers that is a surgeon tonight and see what he thinks. Isn't it amazing that even when you work in the medical field, they are not understanding?
