May I know what surgery was performed ?

Are there any bowel symptoms present ?
Have you been diagnosed suffering from Pudendal Neuralgia or this is what you presume ?
Several holes in stomach , does it point to Laparoscopy ?
Get back with this information & I will help you sort your issue

May I know what surgery was performed ? They went into my belle button for "Intetission" on small intestine but only found scar tissue which interesting because I have never had stomach surgery in the past.
What was the type of surgery Laparoscopic Or Open ? It was Laparoscopic I have a 4-5 holes, small in size on center and left sides.
Are there any bowel symptoms present ? No other than constipation from pain meds.
Have you been diagnosed suffering from Pudendal Neuralgia or this is what you presume ? This is what I am presuming I had just today spoke with a Neurologist who sent me for an MRI of the back. Thinks related to nerves that is why I am getting pain in the leg. Weird part is I had several injections in the left leg which right now is causing some pain and I had fluid built up this week. Not blood clot thank goodness.
Several holes in stomach , does it point to Laparoscopy ? Yes it was. I have to go back to have swollow scan pill this week to have them look around some more in detail. They are not certain why I have scar tissue build up? Ideas?

Hi
Thanks for your followup
I have a feeling that you should go for plenty of fluids and extra fiber for constipation
Add a probiotic twice a day for three to four weeks
There are some idopathic bands which occur because of subacute intraabdominal infections so it is not very wise doubting the operating surgeon
Regarding neuralgia I would prefer giving a trial with Gabapantine, if the pain is relieved I may presume a neurological cause and investigate further
As planned you may go for capsule endoscopy and get back to me in case of doubts
Hope this clears your doubts
Get well soon
