Back pain. Went to urgent care and they did a CT scan. Couldn't figure out my back issue (so they're giving me an MRI in a couple of weeks), but my CT scan did show some interesting results.
They said I have fecal material in my small bowel. I'm pooping fine, but am wondering if this is normal for us? If so, is it backed up into our alimentary channel, the digestive juices channel and/or the common channel? This may explain why even after over prepping for my recent colonoscopy, the doctor still only rated it s "fair." I do recall that as I prepped, I ran clear, but then an hour later it would be cloudy again, then I'd drink more prep and it was clear again, etc.
Here is the report. Anyone have any insight about this?
Limited noncontrast exam. No urinary tract stones or hydronephrosis. Nonspecific mildly enlarged mesenteric, retroperitoneal, intrapelvic and inguinal lymph nodes. Status post gastric sleeve surgery and cholecystectomy. No evidence of bowel obstruction. Small bowel fecalization may be secondary to dysmotility or enteritis. 2.1 cm lucent lesion in the left iliac wing with thin sclerotic rim suggestive of a nonaggressive process but new when compared to 2/2/2015. No other specific imaging features are seen, consider outpatient follow-up MRI with IV contrast for further characterization.
