So you had this surgery for diverticulitis. Now as a result of the surgery you are having pains? Are they happening in the area where you colon was operated on? What is the pain sensation like? Is it sharp, dull, continuous or in short bursts? Is there any burning or pins and needles (probably unlikely), and how severe is the pain on a 1-10 scale? How did you come up with nerve entrapment for a diagnosis? When this pain is happening is there anything you have found to relieve it?

I have all the symptoms of ACNES , basically neuropathic pain, as you indicated. Upon movement etc it can be a 10. The pain has not gone away, I have had it for a month but I cannot get a DR to see or examine me so I have to try and tell them over the phone what i think it might be and what medication they should prescribe. Nothing really relieves it ad they will not prescribe any strong analgesia. Can I ask, are people led to believe that we have a great health care system in the UK? because if so then you are truly being lied to, it is horrendous and they do not care whether you live or die.
