Question: I had a colonoscopy 2 1/2 weeks ago and everything was normal. Dr.mentioned memories,but nothing unusual. Saturday night I had really bad stomach cramps and couldn't seem to have a bowel movement, but then when it started, it seemed to go on and on. Whole while having the bad stomach cramps,which were relieved each time I went,but came back.then when the regular "poop"stopped coming a bloody mucus started....still with bad cramps.every hour. I took Imodium d three times and it seemed to help but I still have soreness in stomach,somewhat celluloid mucus when I try to go. I hope you can help me.
The question should have read hemroids not memories.
And the last part of my question was bloody mucus not celluloid mucus.
