Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Welcome, John. This must be so frustrating to have this recurring pain 5 times in the past year, more than 3 years after surgery and that an x-ray showed nothing obstructive. Have you been able to recall any food you ate or activity you did the day before the painful episode in the night? Is there a common thread?

Coleen,
After another episode, I'm writing to ask what type of physician should I see to begin diagnosing my issue. It definitely is a result of lifting so I suspect a hernia or a failed hernia repair (I've had several). Should I start with an internist, gastro-interologist, the original resection surgeon? Getting tired of chasing this thing down. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply, also thank you for asking something that no physician has asked. As it happens, I lifted something awkward and heavy that day. I don't remember if I did that before the past episodes. My diet is fairly regular so the idea that a muscle/hernia strain could be the cause is a welcome suggestion.
Thanks again Colleen
