Pain

[offcntr]

I've been dealing with an ongoing health problem since, oh, end of August, my last colonoscopy. It's been variously mis-diagnosed as skin irritation, prostatitis; treated with Desitin, Anusol, lidocaine gel, two heavy courses of antibiotics. The urologist finally recommended pelvic floor physical therapy, though I've yet to actually hear from PT. The problem? Quite literally, a pain in the ass. It hurts to sit down.

This is clearly a problem for working at the wheel. Or driving or pretty much anything except standing up and pacing uncomfortably back and forth.

Finally got to see my primary physician this month, and she's got me a referral back to the Gastro folks who were at the start of the issue, and who blew me off with "It's probably diaper rash." Couldn't actually get an appointment before early March, but today I'm going in to Imaging, get my torso CAT scanned.

Think they'll count the rings and tell me how old I am?

Is it remotely possible that the colonoscopy CAUSED your problem? Just going hmmmm here.

Can you ask them to trade out parts for cybernetic ones? Robotic pooping?

This has been my concern all along, but they're like "If there's no blood, it's not our problem."
