It so sucks when you're in pain!!

That really does happen a lot to people. The bowels take up a lot of real estate in our bellies.

But things have been ok lately. I do strain sometimes

with that description they don't mess around.
There is a lot of stuff down there and it's
bad when it hurts.
My family history indicated the colon.

Had a clear colonoscopy not long ago but maybe diverticulitis? Or losis?

It involves an Ostomy bag.

Have to be careful what I eat and chew before swallowing.

I've always considered myself healthy and lucky.
Still do.

They should be doing an MRI to rule out gastro. A contrast hip MRI to diagnose a tear is also needed.
