Hello,

I had a colon resection surgery for diverticulitis in August of 2020 and I am experiencing some pretty severe abdominal pain and digestive issues.

I was completely fine until about 6 months later. I woke up one morning with really bad abdominal pain and decided to get a colonoscopy, endoscopy, ct scan, the whole works.

One day, the pain went away and everything went back to normal. Fast forward 6 months and the pain came back in full force - I have tried several diets, been diagnosed with SIBO, Candida, Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut and even mold poisoning but my main problem is so much abdominal pain, especially in the colon with highly altered bowel movements (constipation, watery stools, hard lumpy stools).

I have also had a HIDA scan, CT scan for bowel obstruction, CT scan for adhesions which all came back normal.

However, when this problem started, I noticed these little 'knots' all over my gut which were very painful to the touch and I went to a place called Clear Passage twice and did intensive manual therapy for these adhesions and now they are gone but a big part of me wonders if there is some sort of adhesions or stricture that hasn't been detected by CT scan.

Just recently, I have been getting colon "attacks" where it feels like a knife or a gun shot wound to my sigmoid colon that lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

I've tried a wide array of different diets including fasting and intermittent fasting, supplements, natural and prescription prokinetics.

Now my doctor is trying to convince me to get a permanent nerve block but that seems absolutely insane to me with everything that is transpiring and this gradual worsening of symptoms.

Sorry for the long post but I am very very desperate at this point and looking for any possible answers I can find as I am in pain almost 24/7
