Hi been in hospital today for emergency colonoscopy because I was told I had a mass/blockage they didn't find this on examination however they have taken 28 biopsies caecum 4 ascending colon 4 transverse colon 4 hepatic fkexure 4 descending colon 4 sigmoid 4 rectum 4 ... they said my disease is Quiescent what exactly does this mean ?? They have me a lot of pain relief through the canula as I was in agony plus buscopan my worry is what do I do when it wears off .. I asked what happens now they said probably consultant may suggest MRI of small bowel .. has anyone else experienced this ??

    Hi , sorry to hear you are having problems and I hope you get some answers once you get the results of your biopsies.  In the meantime Quiescent means quiescent[kwi·es'?nt]

    1 inactive, quiet, or at rest.

    2 latent.

    3 dormant.

    Hope that helps a little.  A colonoscopy is not good but it does help get results as to what is happening.  Good luck and hopefully good news soon.
