I had colon re-section surgery 6 months ago for complicated diverticulitis. I spent 2 separate times in the hospital due to ruptures in my colon from this disease. The doctor recommended this surgery to remove the diseased part of my colon and said I should never have any more problems with this. I have had pain on and off since the surgery. Its always on the left side where they did the surgery to remove that bad section of my colon. I have gone back to the doctor and told him of my pain. He ordered a ct scan just to make sure all was okay. It was okay and he said he saw nothing out of the ordinary. That was back latter part of last year. I continue to have pain and my stomach bloats up and its real sore on the left side. It passes after about 20 minutes or so. I am just wondering if I am going to have to endure pain for the rest of my life.
I do not understand why I keep having pain.
