    Question Colonoscopy and a Tortuous Colon????

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I recently underwent a colonoscopy as routine screening, I'm 45 with no known health problems but my older sister was diagnosed with appendial cancer last year and as its "loosely" considered a colon cancer I was screened.
    Heres the issue, I woke twice during the proceedure in pain. The doctor was forced to stop the test as he was unable to get beyond a point in my colon. He did find and remove a polyop (which has gone for pathology - no results yet) He sent me for an alternative test - a barium enema x-ray - which I'll add was THE worst test I've ever had!!! Anyway during that test the Radioligst told me I had a Tortuous colon - which basically means more twists and turns then normal.

    My question is this - Does anyone know what they will have to do to remove any Polyop's that may be in my colon beyond where the doc was able to get with the Colonscopy?
    I'm scheduled to go back to see him but not till Dec 6th. I'm a little worried.

    Likely the same procedure they used to remove the one that they did get to.
    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.

    Oh joy!! The doc wasn't able to get more then 1/3 of the way through my colonoscopy, that should be interesting...
