Hello, I'm 69, In Good Health Except Back Problems -
Hello,
I'm 69, in good health except back problems - Spinal Stenosis, arthritis, bulging disk. Been told I need a laminectomy and fusion of L4/5 by Surgeon. Been putting it off. Yesterday, noticed a lot of blood (bright red) after bowel movement. Has not been a big concern in the past due to hemorrhoids/anal tear (usually a little blood) but looks like more now. Shall I see a Doctor? Thanks
