Morning my friends...I was DX with PROLAPSE RECTUM last week!!!!! Pain, pain....hurts to sit, stand, go to bathroom.... Doctor said my Spine has Collapsed, putting pressure on colon!! Surgery is only option, which at 72lbs, I don't feel strong enough for that..SO, guess I'll deal with MORE PAIN, along with back, hip, & Osteoporosis!!!....
Hope everyone is doing ok...
Gentle Hugs to all...Dianne
