I returned to work three days ago.
I had a lap, resect done five weeks ago and felt well enough to get back to my old routines.
Well, three days now I've been working and the pain in my belly button area began this morning. It hurts to laugh, like as if it's a muscle BUT its now also red around it and may be bit swollen-so hard to tell. I felt around to see if it was hard underneath but that too is so hard to tell as I think it was hard to begin with-from the healing and scarring. It's tender to the touch. I am in a COMPLETE panic! I see the GI tomorrow, but I can't stop thinking about it. Is it a friggin' abscess??!?!?!
I just want this whole nightmare to be over with. Unfortunately, I know it will never be 'over' seeing as I am doomed with the shitty disease for the rest of my life (sorry, I am so miserable) I am so over it! I am looking for honesty-Is there any way it could be something that isn't an abscess?? Is it at all possible to have these sort of symptoms with it being something minor? Soooooo upset! :S:frown:
