I had my colon removed in May 2012 within a week after I had emergancy surgery for a twist in the small intestine .. every since Ihave had a severe pinching pain at the same side beside my Illiostomy.. I have had CT scans..MIR.. and the doctors have nothing.. they have given me Morphine that doesnt help.. Percocets .. they dont work and even Fentnyal patches all not touching the pain... an opinion would be great.. I dont know what to do..the pain is killing me.. Thank you.
Dear sir, it is hard to believe that all these medicines can't help you. Did they think of pastoral hernia? It doesn't need to be seen on CT. If you have such a persistent pain then revision of ileostomy should be done. Complete colon removal is a mutilating procedure and many complications can be expected, but the source of pain must be evaluated. Diagnostic laparoscopy can be preformed. But also this could be neuropathic pain, so you can consult with your neurologist what to take. There are medicines such as Lyrics which can be helpful. Wish you good health.
