Hello,
I had a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy 6 weeks ago to remove a tumour. Since coming home from hospital I’ve managed well with little pain relief. But in the last few days I’ve been getting sharp pains around my belly button area. I now can’t walk very far or stand for long without the need to sit to ease the pain.
I’ve spoken to the colorectal nurse and she said it’s normal at this stage as you’re starting to move a little more, eating more and everything is knitting together.
But I’m worried, I feel I’ve gone backwards. I can’t recall the pain being this bad at any point after my procedure. Can anybody offer any advice or had a similar experience?
Thank you Karen
