It’s almost been 3 years. It’s awful. Had tests done, they’ve come up with a host of reasons none that have stuck. I’m out of options as I live the the armpit of the world for healthcare. Doctors just don’t even know what to do. I had my ileostomy March 9, 2021. So it’s definitely lasted more than 4 months 🥺
It’s the worst when I eat, like perhaps it’s spasming when I digest food.
I’ve never had to take pain medication before, ever.
Worst decision I’ve ever made was this surgery.
Thank you for responding though. It helps to know others have lived through it. Hugs

I’m so very sorry. I can’t begin to imagine what you live with every day.
I wish there was something I could do or say that would help.
I hope you find some answers here. Keep fighting😘

I have had several doctor recommending pelvic floor physical therapy. So far that hasn't provded much releif though.
