Thanks so much, YES I haven't tried that yet, should've been my first go-to!
I had to look that up haha.. I'm unsure, but it's very repeatable, touch the ankle, stomach pain!
If you put something soothing on your ankle, does it help your stomach pain? Like aloe or numbing cream?
Hmmm I haven't tried that yet, I'll give that a go, might be interesting!
I live in a rental on a farm. Gave away about two hundred pounds of avocados this morning, dropped them off at the firehouse and then to some of the Maui county workers.
Bringing approximately nine hundred pounds of them to the airport today. Dropping off about the same at the food shelter tomorrow.
A man can eat only so much guac.

Have you had a Colonoscopy lately?
No have never had one!
Not even from a Doc with giant sausage fingers?
You may be thinking of a prostate check, which I HAVE had haha. One I had was relatively fine, the other I had, sheesh!Not even from a Doc with giant sausage fingers?
Every time the fat fingered Doc walked in the room I got nervous, no matter what instrument he intended to use! He also always had a spoon in his pocket…

I'm no doctor, but I lost one of my best friends to colo-rectal cancer. She was 47 when they diagnosed her in stage 4 and she died less than 6 months later. Don’t sleep on that colonoscopy. It’s just a thing that you need to do.
I'm sorry for your loss mate.. that's so young too...
Thank you. It doesn't seem related to that area symptom-wise, but I'll definitely follow doctor's advice for sure if that comes up

Oh sorry. Not trying to be alarmist. Just saying, don’t wait for symptoms. A colonoscopy isn’t really that big of a deal and it isn’t something to put off doing.
That’s said, she was definitely very young. She was a buddy in high school, then good friends with me and my wife when they were both pregnant. Our kids all grew up together and her youngest is still roommates with my son.

Within it's limitations, and only for those who are solidly in the low-risk category.
Cologuard has a false positive rate of 13% and a false negative rate of 8%.
the symptoms creep up on you, and the lower left quadrant is a popular region for that to start!
Just get it scheduled.
The recommended age is now 45 here in the US.
(in case you are wondering, yep, I had colon cancer. I did not know until I doubled over with pain. After that it went really quickly, Screening, OP, chemo....That was in October '21. I have my checkup next week, I am expecting to be 'downgraded' to yearly checks now)
