Hello, I had colon resection on July 12th seemed to have recovered well, back to work two weeks ago. However last night and all day today, I have had SEVERE pain at right side of abdomen, BUT only after iv had a bowel movement and trying to stand from the sitting position. Its really an almost unbearable, sharp pain. Im going to Urgent Care after my shift today but wondering if it sounds familiar to anyone here.

I commented on this site previously that I had extreme pain on the right side for a couple of months following colon resection surgery. A CT scan showed no issue and I was told the pain was caused by the robotic arms which entered on that side to go to the left side to remove the portion of the colon with diverticulitis.

Hello @suzieduarte72 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It seems like a good amount of time between your resection and this onset of pain. I am so glad to hear that you are going to Urgent Care today.
@doodily10 has recently shared a sudden onset of a sharp pain as well so I am hoping the pair of you can connect to compare your experiences.
What did you find out from Urgent Care?
