Q: pain management following colon removal
asked by: drathje on June 1st, 2008

My daughter age 21, had her colon removed 5 weeks ago. About 1 1/2 weeks she lifted more weight than she should have. Does anyone have ideas how she can cope with the pain? I don't know if it is worse because she lifted or if she'd be having pain anyway. She is saying that if she would have known how much this would hurt, she wouldn't have done the surgery.
she needs to return to college by June 17th.
Help.

When has the pain started?
Does she feel crampy abdominal pain?
Is she experiencing some of these symptoms (vomiting, bloating, an inability to pass gas, constipation), too?
Is this pain getting worse as the time pass?
What was the cause for colon removal (ulcerative colitis, cancer)?
