bowel resection crohn's disease

Had bowel resection 4 weeks ago (22" removed). Recovered well, back to work last Thursday. Started experiencing pain between my rib cage - upper abdomen and it became quite hard and swollen. Visited my gastroenterologist today and he's sending me for an urgent CT scan to see what's happening.

Anyone else have complications after surgery? He wouldn't say what it could be just that it was urgent that we determine what it was.

Thanks

 Pain
by: Anonymous

I had my bowel resection surgery in April '09 after they discovered that I had an abcess and fistula. I have had pain ever since in the same area. I have been to the emergency room numerous times to no avail. My gastro guy says that it is because the anatomy has been changed and the nerves are freaking out. Gives me pain medication and says it will take time. Anyone else still having pain this long after surgery? If so, when did it go away?

Thanks for any help!!!!!!!!:)

 PAIN AFTER RESECTION
by: Anonymous

Kyle:

Turns out my problem was gallstones. The pain eventually subsided and surgeon said he couldn't do more surgery in that area for 6 months. I was scheduled to have surgery last February but I opted not to and hope that it was a one time problem. I've been gallstone free since then!

Good luck with your issue - Hope it's something as simple.

All the best

I just had the same thing done and its been about 6 weeks after my surgery I am having the same problem. A very sharp pain in that same localized area. It hurts to press on it with my finger. I am not sure if I pulled a muscle because I tried to do to much or something but it hurts. I was fine the previous couple weeks.
