Re: Bowel obstruction CAUSED BY COLONOSCOPY???

I had a colonoscopy about 1.5 years ago at my doctor's recommendation,
since colon cancer runs in my family and he is very cautious about
things (I'm was only 28 years old at the time). I was not experiencing
any problems prior to the colonoscopy. However, within days after the
colonoscopy, I began experiencing problems passing my stool. i don't
want to say that I am constipated, as it feels like a partial blockage
or a twist in my intestine.

Sounds like you need another colonoscopy.
If no one thinks the first colonoscopy was the cause, it isn't going
to hurt to have another one.
