oh Im so frustrated also. Had my colon resection 5 weeks ago. dr. says i should be feeling better. but everytime i empty my bladder or have a bowel movement i get this horrible pain in my abdomen that sticks around most of the day. the doctor says the ct scan shows nothing. its all good he says. i feel like i have a bladder infection or something. Does anyone feel like that? im a strong person but this is taking me down mentally. my name is debbie and im 59 years old. can someone give me advice?

Hi Debbie, 5 weeks really isn't a long time to heal from such a major surgery. As you read through the past posts of other members, you'll see that you're not alone. Are you drinking plenty of fluids to help make bowel movements easier?
