I live in the UK. I had a Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy three months ago. I think that I might have Acute Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment. I had been taking Gabapentin for over two weeks and Paracetamol. It is affecting the quality of my life, has anyone else had experience of this?

@horthog For the past two weeks you have been taking Gabapentin and Paracetamol and these drugs are affecting your quality of life? May I ask how your quality of life has diminished?
@horthog
Hi, I am wondering why you had a Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy in the first place? What were your initial symptoms? Maybe fill us in on how this all started. When you say you "think you might have" Acute Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment, how did you come to this conclusion? What are your current symptoms? Who have you seen for this and what are you currently doing for it? Just trying to get a few details to better understand your situation. Can you lay it all out from where this began and take us up to the present? Best, Hank
