Finally met with my GI about
the results of my colonoscopy and endescopy and he said that I have no inflammation. It's way better than when I had a colonoscopy in March and was first diagnosed with UC. But I don't feel better. He was talking about
moving on to IV meds and wanted to do the scopes first. Now he is speculating it could be IBS or a tumor. Obviously not happy about
waiting weeks for tests results to come back regarding a tumor. Also stressed that my symptoms don't seem to be related to the UC and he is just speculating about
what it could be. I just want to get better and have my life back. Anyone have the tests results show they're better but not feel better?

It's good you're inflammation free, but frustrating if you're still experiencing symptoms. Remind us what your current symptoms are? How many bms a day, any urgency, signs of blood or mucus, or other symptoms?

I have constant abdominal pain that can go from about
a 4-8 in pain. BMs are between 4-6/day, never with blood, previously with mucus but that's gone now.

Why is he saying tumor? Was something seen?

Yes, I get scoped once a year. The last time by doc said he saw much less inflammation than the year before, even though I was experiencing more symptoms. It's not a one to one relationship.

The tumor was complete speculation on his part I think when he was trying to figure out what else could be going on and what other tests he could order.
