How To Treat Severe Abdominal Pain On Right Side Caused Due To Infection Post Colon Surgery?
hi I had colon cancer surgery November 25 2014. I had complications starting December 16 2014. I had a huge hole cut in my abdomen then as the infection and scar tissue was intense in march 2015. I have had consistent pain on my right side, a burning numbing twisting pain that has gotten worse. now I have a huge buldge on my right side that feels like a bag of rocks when I turn move or get up. I am not able to move my bowels without a laxative of some type and the pain is gut wrenching. I no longer have a doctor do you think I need to make a will or resolve myself to laxatives and the most pain I can live with until my time is up?
