26 Year Crohnnie! New problems!

[VSAngel]

Hi all! I have had Crohn's for 26 years, 3 bowel resections later -- I developed an incisional hernia. It was repaired with mesh over a year ago and I'm still having problems with contant pain from the mesh --- anyone else dealing with this or anything similar???:voodoo:

Hi

No, sorry i do not have anything to add to that awful situation that you have. I yet have not had the pleasure of a resection but i sure would like to have one at least to help with the pain that i am dealing with.

When you had the resection did they help at all for you? Was in long term or short term painfree for you?

More On Hernia Mesh + Bowel Resection

Yes!! I went 10+ years between each bowel resection -- long-term pain relief -- still had lots of BMs though ... the last resection, though, I developed an incisional hernia (don't know what happpened -- over did it or bad stitches or what). And it is the mesh causing the problems now -- the mesh has possibly "meshed" around my small intestine (yuck). I have an appt. at U of M this month -- possible laparoscope procedure to see if things are "stuck together." :voodoo:
