Hi I had a partial resectiion of my sigmoid, in 2006 it is now 2023. I am 69 years old and six years ago. I started getting severe pain at night on the left side where the sigmoid was removed pain and I couldn’t even take stabbing so like someone was digging a knife in my side every single night I got the same pain almost the same time sometimes during the day, so I got another CAT scan. They didn’t say anything and my doctor in Georgia now, I was notified, and I spoke with him and he said it probably was scar tissue forming I had to watch my diet and watch what I eat. Mainly drink a lot of water so much water that all I did was get up and have to pee check with your surgeon. There must be something going on that would be Noticeable..

I’m just tired of these doctors. I have decided to treat myself by drink lots and lots of water as you mentioned. I’m eliminating a lot of foods as well. Spicy, Carbs (no breads). One thing I found is that medication before bedtime is a no no. I now take medication one hour before I lay down. And honestly I’ve been feeling better. Now if I can get the constipation under control I can live with this. But I also realized now. All the inflammation I had in my colon prompting a resection was completely unnecessary. I firmly believe it was night time medicine sitting in my body with no place to go because I would go right to sleep.

I had a Colon resection January, 17-2023 I have had bout of severe stomach pains while trying to eat food. I’ve been told I have or had inflammation in my colon. I was advised to have the resection. I’m back to square one. I’m back to daily pain with diarrhea. Except now I also have the constipation and use enemas almost daily. Even after having a day of loose stool the next day I have constipation. I can’t go out to eat. Some days I can’t leave the house. During thanksgiving dinner I hardly ate. Bite after just one bite I doubled over. I’ve lost 15 lbs In A months. I’m tired of scans and colonoscopies without results.
Can anyone, anyone possible help me?
