Not what I wanted to hear....

So about a month after I had the barium enema I began having this pain that started in my rectum and would travel to the front. At first it was a little pain every once in a while, only lasted for a few seconds, but then they were getting more intense and that turned into a constant pain. My surgeon thought it might be pouchitis and gave me 10 days of flagyl, cipro and some cream...3 days after finishing the coarse the pain came back, so she put me on 2 more weeks of antibioics only this time I had the pain (not an intense) during the whole coarse. So I went back into the city today so she could check my jpouch to see if I had pouchitis and she had a hard time navigating because either the tech that did my barium enema hit something and my body is trying to heal itself that its causing a blockage/narrowing, or its narrowing on its own due nothing passing through it.
Anyway, next week I need to go back in the city so she can dilate the area so we can see whats going on. I already hit a bump that the test showed that I wasn't ready for the takedown, now theres a possibility that this narrowing if not fixed by dilation could jeopordize my takedown! So needless to say, it wasn't a very good day.
