I had a total pelvic exenteration for bowel cancer in 2016 and had been recovering well (with a colostomy) but now I'm getting chronic pain from obstructions caused by adhesions. I also have a fistula which discharges from the bowel through the anus when pressure builds up from the obstruction. I'm trying to manage this with a low residue diet as the surgeon has recommended although it's not really working that well...
Has anyone had similar problems and could maybe offer some advice?
Thanks.
