Nerve pain mostly on skin surface although occasionally a deep sharp pain with a sneeze for example. I do have quite a bit of swelling still. I also have been increasing fiber and per surgeon taking Metamucil daily. I have been increasing very slowly but thinking it’s still causing bloating and more swelling. So not sure if I should back off the fiber for a bit to see if it helps the nerve pain by reducing swelling / bloating? I have no pain meds other than Advil. And I have not had a follow up ct scan. Per surgeon I still have pockets in colon. He just removed the diseased part so I worry about having diverticulitis again especially if I don’t get going on high fiber. Surgeon said the risk level of getting it again is low but still a chance. I do take MiraLAX as needed to help keep things moving. And bowel movements have been ok with the fiber increase, Metamucil, and MiraLAX. But I hate the swelling and nerve pain situation. And concern about future episodes. Just unsure how to move forward on diet focus at this point. Maybe I should focus on what seems to be working for healing and then worry about the diet. I am reaching back out to my surgeon this coming week in hopes for some help. We shall see! Thank you for your help as well !
