Maybe because it was 21 years ago, I had 12' of my sigmoid colon removed but I don't remember having the soreness and what you are going through. I just remember wanting to get out of the hospital! I had never in my Life wanted a Bowel Movement then! Dr. said I couldn't leave until I did! Took me two days but finally did!
May have been because I was 21 years younger than I am now that I may have been stronger!!
My Thoughts and Prayers are with you and hope your soreness and pain soon goes away!
It's so much up to our own mind/brain to cure ourselves!
Blessing fro The Land of Enchantment!
