Hello. I am a 48 yr old female who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in July and had a bowel section at the end of August. 
it’s been 3 weeks since my surgery and I have pain in my groin area. Just below where you would have a c-section. A but like period pain. I can also feel two lumps which I assume is the resection bowel. Is this familiar to anyone?

I have yet to get results back from Drs to confirm that cancer is gone or if further treatment is needed. 

  • Hi Angelous 

    I wanted to just say hello , others will be along that have had similar. 
    I had a LAR with stoma ( Ileostomy) so I’m sorry I haven’t got lots of experience with your operation  

    I have a c section scar plus key hole marks in various places. Oh and a small camera scar in my naval for the camera   There’s others but that’s enough for now  I was on heavy duty pain relief  Tramadol slow release which my GP sorted and I found it really belt for my rest and moving about 

    I hope that you have pain meds to control your pain.  If you’re concerned about the pain please phone your colorectal nurses they will help with that 

    Take care

  • Hi pajot

    Do you know what operation you are having?  Sometimes it’s reassuring to chat to others that have had the same 

    Best wishes
