Hi! I’m so sorry you’re suffering in pain still after surgery. I’m wondering if you’ve developed abdominal adhesions from your resection surgery? Adhesions are like scars inside that are normal but adhesions can cause organs to stick to each other, loops of intestines to stick together and to the abdominal wall. They can also encompass nerves and blood vessels, which can get caught in adhesions and be incredibly painful. They generally aren’t visible on any scans, and usually need to be diagnosed via laparoscopic surgery. The issue is, surgery causes adhesions to form so to look for and treat adhesions with surgery is like a catch 22. There aren’t really any other treatments other than surgery, which can make adhesions worse.

I’ve had multiple surgeries and have had adhesions removed every time and they seem to keep reforming in me. That’s why I’m wondering if you have them, your symptoms sound similar to mine. I’ve had two bowel obstructions and two bowel resections from adhesions. They can be very serious
