Had sigmoid removed 4 months ago with open surgery. I have diver throughout entire colon. 2 months in I got that old familiar pain on lower left side. Had a scan No infection found however I know for a fact my surgeon did not even look at colonoscopy to see how much he could remove to give me a better quality of life.He told me he didn't need to see it! What do I do now? He is finished with me! Do I need to have more removed? I am a very active 69yr old woman run an estate sale company which requires physical work! 4 month!!! I can't believe it!! The pain never goes away! But it is only a level 2! Fiber makes it worse. I watch everything I eat..diabetic and lactose intolerant. I need help!!!

Have you considered a second opinion? See where that leads you?

Hi. I had high anterior resection 4 months ago for an abscess and diverticulitis. My bowel had attached to my abdomen from long standing inflammation. Thought all was well then about 6 weeks ago low left pains again. Problems from diarrhoea to constipation with no rhyme or reason. Dr thought I had a stricture. Been on a liquid diet. Had colonoscopy today and they can’t see anything. My scar has been burning and I get strange nerve stinging sensations in by chest skin since op. Maybe mine is nerve damage too. Feel really fed up.
Have you had any news diagnosis or are you any nearer to your solution?
