Does anyone know if bone marrow edema always turns to osteophytes/syndesmeophytes or can that be stopped? I'm suppose to have a colonoscopy but I'm afraid to make things worse right now(terrified would actually be a better word). Cause I'm pretty sure that anaesthesia is gonna do a number. The other thing is is I bet my colon is wreck and my small bowel is definitely more inflamed(not sure if there will be lesions seen with the colonoscope though, knowing my luck with tests). I've had a ct miss my ibd and an MRI pick it up but we thought the MRI radiologist was good.

I just really don't have faith in tests because I have major scars in my left eye and practically no huge signs like that in my right but my right is almost as bad. But besides that possibility I'm more worried about creating new deeper well established pathways frown

And I'm in real bad shape ATM even though I do well with lifestyle. Probably gonna start a long fast to go with the exercise starting tomorrow to try and stop anything new from coming in.

Any ideas?
