Pain after bowel resection.

[PonchoRider1389]

I had my terminal ileum removed 2 weeks ago. He done a side to side anastomoses. My question. I am still having pain when I have a bowel movement. It’s getting better. But, it takes my breathe away at times.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so when did it finally get better and better? Weeks 4-5-6?

Thanks

My doctor had me on oxycodone after my resection. I hope you get relief soon. I would call your doctor and tell him about the pain you are experiencing.

I agree, you need better pain relief. Oxycodone is perfectly safe if taken as directed by a competent doctor. I have taken it for months at a time after surgeries. When the prescription ran out, that was it. I felt a little rough for a few days but it was way better than what you are describing. Don't be scared, be honest with the doc about the pain. That's all my opinion of course, however I have been treated with nearly all the major painkillers.:ack:
