I told the Dr. Seven days ago my colon enlarged. He said No it wasn't, he is not a GI doctor . So I took an xray on day six, it shows I have a enlarged colon. The nursing home doesn't want to send me to Er. I went last October they kept me 18 days. Then this March 4 days. I can't keep going back for this.something has to be done. They did talk about alputting on a bag. Although I don't want to, I will if if end this problem. I may have an injured splinter fom my stroke causing the colon to act up.

You know your body more. If you think you need it you can demand for it no?

@flapiz it was magnesium citrate, very nasty taste. It was lemon flavor but they can't pay me to take more.

Dr's hate when a patient tells them what's wrong, they prefer to think they are the ones to tell the patient whats wrong.

So the doctor didn't listen to you, until he discovered it for himself.

Oh it sounds a miserable problem. I hope you get some resolution. Friend had to have colon surgery one time because his twisted. It wasn't fun, but he had no more pain afterwards which was good.

Our doctors here are helping each other. They're referring each other their patient if they think the patient's situation is beyond their specialization.
