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

I had a Laparoscopic Sigmoid Colectomy for Sever Diverticular Disease. I have had to come to this conclusion as I am an ex Nurse and I have been googling it (Dr Google). I live in the UK and our NHS is not a very good service. I have told my own GP, what it might be, I cannot see her as they are working from home, due to Covid. I also attended A and E (ER) waited 7 hours they did not do anything and most Drs do not know what I am talking about. I have phoned and left messages and emailed my Surgeon as my GP has but no repsonse. I had my surgery at the end of May. The Surgeon thought it might be due to the sutures in my abdomen. I had a CT scan last week, no results, the last time I had a scan it took them 8 months to report on it. The NHS is and should not be the envy of the world.
