Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain/swelling After Having Colectomy
I have severe pain and abdominal swelling after colectomy June 27, just haven t been able to recover. Pressure on abdominal is very painful inside, I have had ct scan and colonoscopy, results were scar tissue. I feel like I can not get any relief from this surgery, I have been to a pain clinic, got 3 steroid injections. Did not help. I will be calling my surgeon again on Monday just wondering if I w will ever recover, my only relief is ice packs on my abdomen all day can t keep that up forever

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read the history and understood it.
This is due to scar tissue / adhesions.
You need a formal surgery after investigations :
I would suggest you to undergo barium meal to find the exact cause of pain in abdomen , to detect the level of intestinal problem and get a plan for surgery.
