Hi Good people
I had the right side of my colon removed in May and I was fortunate enough to not need any chemotherapy.
Over the last week however, I have started to experience some pain in my lower left side which is like a stitch/dull ache. I have ruled out kidney issues but has anyone here experienced anything like this?
