The ct scan 1 year ago was normal all except a very large amount of stool in my ascending colon. I’ve been told I have ibs. It also showed a non-obstructing kidney stone in right kidney (hx of 6 kidney stones since age 24). The pain is severe at times but it eases up when I rest. I have many very sore spots in my back.
