Bowel cancer post surgery pain

Sorry I should have signed Jackie M...i am asking for my 40 year old daughter.

Hello and welcome . 

I am sorry to hear about your daughter not being able  to sleep . Some people do report post op pain but we always advise people to get in touch with their team to exclude infections but also to get on top of the pain .

We also have a helpline number 0808 808 0000 who would be more than happy to guide you through this aspect . My own rule of thumb is to err on the side of caution . At least that way she will have not only reassurance but a little help with the pain .

Great to hear she is safely through surgery though and it sounds as though she has a good team there !

Take care ,

Court 

Morning Jackie

I had similar symptoms following surgery, something I can only  compare to severe sunburn.  It does fade but nerves are slow growing to repair.  My wife, a Dr, told me it's a frequent post-op symptom, particularly in women who have had a c-section.  It will go!!
