Two weeks ago I had a TEM operation. Everything seems to be going fine until 2 days ago, I always feel that I need to go to the toilet and I do plus have pain in the rectum area where the op was.
Is this feeling and pain normal is this part of the healing. Anyone experienced this.
thanks
thanks
Hi there.
Sorry I can’t remember others talking about recovery
Hopefully someone will pop up soon
If you pop TEMS up in the search bar at the top you find some relevant info.
Best to contact your team colorectal nurses tomorrow that’s what I would do. I had a LAR with Ileostomy and phoned my nurses with any concerns they were great
Take care
Ann
