You ladies have kept me company over a very long night and I thank you very much. I am very lonely it is humiliating to discuss this with my "friends" who really are just coworkers. I have decided I can't keep living like this and am going to try to have electroshock treatment also. I really believe I am becoming dangerously depressed- and like I say its not the surgery- well maybe the hormones- its because I am too different and think too much and I don't have the ability to manually defecate and I can't ever let a man touch me now I am grossed out- frankly, I am not real big on people, period- I spend a fortune on therapy, hypnotherapy (yes it works) and medication, I was badly assaulted as a teenager
And was treated so horribly in court that I felt my mind split and I became a different person- long before "rape shield" laws stopped that kind of misconduct- I don't have an easy time w men-or anyone, for that matter- its a fact that women are more apt to rule against a rape victim on juries than men- isn't that sad? Well for me it caused some kind of crisis in me that is really emerging to haunt me now-it got worse after being emotionally abused and assaulted- I put my daughter first because I felt like she was badly affected by being present when someone was cruel to me- I dumped him, I never tolerated it and always kept my own home, and she tells me I'm ugly now and "nobody likes ypu" and "you are unstable"- she isn't horrible to anyone but me, that's another story though-so why not change the whole big picture- no more constipation, no more nothing - many people do well with ECT. I have asked before and was dissuaded because of my high IQ- well what good has that done for me? I am the cause of my own lonliness I'm just different and strange- I was on my way to medical school but that's not happening I don't have the strength to do it- I'm always bored and joke around with everyone- funny that I have lovely superficial friendships with very diverse people- I annoy some people because I have to know everything- I sure annoyed my boss, who mistook my egghead rainman scientific thing for a "gift"- but guess what you awful witch, I know the law, too- surprise! And all I needed to do in the first place was think about stuff like facebook phony happy family things and I wouldn't be such a target. I am dirty and hairy and don't care- that is so not me- but it could be and then I wouldn't be here sobbing and miserable. I have always had abdominal pain it was the prlvic veins not my colon supposedly, but I disagree and I want it to end. The definition of stupid is doing the same thing expecting different results- I won't ever be happy until I change and I need to change my brain more than my pelvis- who cares if I crap out of my hooter? Only I do. I think its time to really change. And my doctors office is getting me a referral to a gi surgeon guess they agree- from what I've read and I am an egghead w a photogr memory, rectocele is something they seem to be amenable to if you're long past the hyst or have a lot of documentation- outside of the universal date for follow up I gueSs. I really like my Dr this is not her fault- but its not going to solve itself and I tell you stay away from transrectal procedures- there are other txs, but have too high a failure rate- I'm not married, I don't even have a mother- people in my shoes don't start at "A" we go right to "z"- can't afford not to.

I hope you were able to get in to see your doctor today.

Hi I hope you feel better soon. I had my hysterectomy on the 16th of Sept only to be back in the hospital two days later for an appendicitis then 3 weeks later back in for a ventral hernia repair. one week later i was admitted because I was in so much pain, it was horrible. They said I was completely backed up. All they did was admit me, pump me full of more pain meds and made me drink miralax til I went and had a bowel movement. No one told me that I could get "Backed up". Having had three surgeries in a months time span of course I am going to be on pain meds. But I was taking stool softeners also and still it happened. I'm fine now but holy cow it was not fun. I hope yours is resolved soon.

I thank you all again falettin me be mice elf and rant today it helped me a lot. I did see the on-call for my Dr who is out of town- she wasn't my type, because like I say I have a medical background and she kept trying to "catch" me in fibs or something- but she did say you seem to be terribly depressed you need medication and I said "I am not opposed to using them, but this is situational- and not because of my surgery except I had 2 weeks without pain and I am very sad if I have to live w it again- sometimes depression really isn't all in your brain chemistry". So anyway my colon was completeely empty- and I thought I was impacted, she insisted last night- she insisted I have emotional "bear down" in the abdomen (um, yes, that caused 'massive varices'" and that my problems are not gyn and then said I have a mass in the abdomen and I'm getting a CT scan (which I will know what is there myself I hope) I am going ina few hours she said it had to be done today- impaction,eh? I told her I think my cecum has mucus plugging from all the fiber and maybe a partial volvulus and she said "I think you have a mass" I am so relieved for now, ecept I do suspect intussception still, I could give a rats about a flippin "mass" couldn't care less!

wow........... how are you doing?

I had a CT scan yesterday and I've never seen anything quite like it- I seriously have no idea what is going on, I have not paSsed a piece of poop for 9 days now but am seeing a specialist on Monday. I have really bad proptosis of the transverse colon- but this can be helped even by standing on your head which I did last night and funny enough this started the vag to bleed after- I am on my way back to gyn if that gets worse, but not concerned- I think the migration of the tcolon is puttung such pressure on every other organ that is now jammed in my pelvis that I am headed for enterocele evisceration and complete prolapse of the vj without intervention such as colectomy and as long as that happens right away ill do it.I also did notice and endlessly googled the wierd pinchy feeling in my left side when I was recovering like first 2-3 weeks my 10th rib would hurt very specifically- this is an attachment site for the colon- and while I was in the scanner gantry last night I heard a "pop" and it hurt like I got donkey pinched- just for a second- and then the rib pain stopped, prob because the cartilage and tendon or ligament suspending organs in the abdomen snapped- for a few weeks back then my left side would pull and pinch and I had twinges elsewhere at times, and the right lower pain that I was correct in my opinion about the cecum being inflamed- LOL inflamed? It looks like a bowling ball! It looks like its flipping me off with my appendix! But on the left? The pinchy sometimes severe pain? It was my descending colon and a huge chunk of tcolon trying to climb around and strangle me! So odd looking! (I am tall and very thin- and ladies, if you have little bird wrists, long neck, you mAy be similar in that this body habitus has the LONGEST and most tortuous colon- like a firehose in some places folded up like that- well, let's just say my abdomen is so weird it was a marvel, really. I wasn't being a doomsdayer about prolapse lol my entire body is so off balance I may invert myself entirely! I will keep yous posted- it fascinates me really, looking at myself a few months ago and today it is remarkable- my insides have migrated so far down and over I can't believe I don't look like I'm 9 months pregnant! I promis I will tell the scoop.

The gi dr wouldn't do a rectal exam or look at the ct scan he said its all in my head I haven't crapped in 19 days and I feel something obstructing my rectum. So I guess that's it. He told me to take miralax and fiber. I have taken 8 correctols and 8 ounces of milk of magnesia in the past 24 hours and I can't defecate. I used a dulcolax suppository and it made me strain and I used a mirror to see what was coming out it was tissue bulging. I started pouring out vaginal blood and every time I try to crap I start bleeding. I am not going to get any help so I am going to have my colon cleaned at a health place because I have to return to work in 2 days. I don't know if I can work I don't feel well- its all in my head, though. I don't think I am going to be able to cope with this I'm just sitting here trying to think of the best way out. So there u have it. I just have to really be sure I have no other choices but I can't live like this that's for sure I am not going to be humiliated like that again and can't afford to. If there's nothing wrong then I'm going to shove my fist up my rectum and force it out, and I'm going to give myself an anema with a hose and see what happens. I can't work like this though so its pretty much all over.

I am going to push the crap out so hard I guarantee you its all going to prolapse what else can I do

I think you should call 911. This is a medical emergency.

Either call 911 or go to the ER with your medical concerns. We are closing this thread as there is nothing we can do online to help you. YOU must take the necessary steps to get to a medical facility for immediate attention.
