Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Posted by joyce1 @joyce1, Feb 25, 2017

Three months after colon resection I had a severe stomach cramp this morning and have not had a bowel movement yet. This is the first time this has happened. So far things have been good.

I am terrified of hospitals after last year. Two hospitalizations and about 5 trips to the ER in the middle of the pandemic BUT I had no choice and it saved my life. I took good care of myself by wearing a mask ALL the time..... Even to sleep but it was worth it and I might not be 100% yet but I think I'm getting there slowly.

Troyhenn22! That's a Big DITO from out west! Not many things I can say I hate! But hospitals are one of them! But that doesn't mean they do not save lives and serve a purpose! I just hate them now! They used to be so different twenty years ago! We'll just leave it at that!

I am 5 months past hemicolectomy and still have some pain and discomfort at times. I think a trip to the ER is necessary and definitely a CAT scan to see what is going on. He probably has an infection and he probably needs antibiotics and pain medication. Try not to wait longer, I had a perforation back in August and it was a dangerous situation to be in.

@tazjess23,I know how hard it is watching a Loved one suffering! Sorry I just read your post. Did he have colorectal cancer? I would tell you like anyone else to GET INTO THE DOCTORS FACE! But I'm not sure if they would let you since you are not married to him! RIDICULES!! As Ingregerd asked is he in the hospital someone should be concerned about his temperature!
I would try and get in the doctors face anyway to see what you can get some answers! Try going over their heads to someone in charge! I know I sound callous, but I have learned over the last 20 years that someone has to act like the patients advocate!
