MRI

Hia all,   After struggling with almost permanent partial obstructions for the last 3 years things and being on a virtual 100% fluid diet, things have got worse.    I have lost far too much weight and have to spend more and more time in bed, lying on my stomach.   My Gastro sent me for another MRI which I had on 10 Oct and it has shown up an abnormal section of thickened diseased small bowel and multiple adhesions some of which are attaching to my pouch.    My follow up with the Gastro is not until next week, so I have been worrying about it for some weeks not knowing what the abnormality is.    The MRI report referred to the section being diseased, but that there was no active disease at the time of the MRI and there was no lymphatic changes.   So I am thinking that it is the site of my old ileostomy or perhaps Chron's (which my Gastro suspects given my ongoing poor health and Ankylosing Spondylitis).     I did have a previous MRI in 2014 which did not show any abnormalities, so this makes me think it is not my old ileostomy site.

I know, I should just wait till next week, but just wondered if anyone else has had similar MRI results and what the outcome was.

Thanks

Caroline
