pain after surgery
Hi I would be very greatful for some of your opinions. I have had crohns disease for 20 years. i had my first small bowel resection in 1993.removing not too much bowel (I was assured) In 2009 I developed a huge stricture in my descending colon and this was removed and I was left with a colostomy> I have managed very well for 2 years with the stoma behaving well> I started to get severe pain when eating and another large stricture was dicovered at the terminal illeum. I have just returned from hospital a week ago after having this removed> The sugeon has left my stoma in situ> Since begining to eat again, all I am passing is very loose stool and lots of mucus> and although they told me to try to get back to normal asap, I am feeling awful> the wound site is open and being dressed daily and theside of the abdomen where my stoma is is huge and hard> I don't knoe if this is due to internal swelling and bruising or if something is wrong. Haven't got to see the surgeon for 6 weeks. But is this feeling normal...Please help
