Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Constipation

default
Posted on Tue, 7 Oct 2014
Question: After a disastrous colorectal surgery, infection requiring surgery because a hernia developed, I am in the process of the test where I swallowed a pill filled with rings; First X-ray showed it in the transverse colon; second in small intestines and Friday I have the 5th. I have not had a bowel movement and have had more gastro pain than ever. My guess is part of the problem is the way the mesh was placed over area of intestines. Are you familiar with this test and can you explain why I experience more abdominal pain?

Brief Answer:
Dont worry. Test being done is right.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX. The pain must be due to the constipation and partly due to the mesh. Why do you worry about the mesh being placed wrongly. Im sure your Doctors are doing the right thing and their efforts are in your best interest. The investigation you are undergoing must be Capsule Endoscopy which is a good test to visualize the entire intestine. Let me know what they think after it is completed. Will have a much better idea thereafter. Do not add on any medications as of now and wait for the test to complete. Take care and I will wait to hear from you.

I do not understand your site as I received a notice that our discussion is closed, but, do not assume that all doctors have my interest first; this is a state where doctors are moving to because it is hard to sue; I have reason to XXXXXXX dr who discharged me with an infection which led to hernia; who said I didn't have to have surgery but it could have helped back pain. A healthy body is now layered with mesh, front and back. I was off all opiates only to have them prescribe more and, Xanax was prescribed w/o my knowledge of it being bad. Miso sorry I ever listened to a dr here. To think that two surgeries to correct two -all involving mesh? I trust no one and how I will ever become the person I was after being a guinea pig, I do not know. I have to understand your site because you are clearly knowledgeable, but, I get cut off just when a dr seems thorough. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Too much damage has been done; I will not allow another dr to come near me. My best to you..

Tests not revealed. Please understand that at the largest Military Hospital serving soldiers, retirees aren't a priority and it takes a lot of time to get a response. If I may open questions with you at a later date, according to the rules of this site, I will do so.
I will also give a very high review once finished. Thank you for your thoroughness and thoughtfulness.
