What Could Cause Discomfort Below Ribs After Surgery For Diverticulosis? Surgery Had Adhesion Related Complications
I had surgery due to diverticuli disease two years ago. During the surgery there where adhesions that connected my descending colon to my spleen. The original surgery got more complicated due to this. I have had discomfort just under my rib cage ever since. During the last several months the discomfort is increasing from a few hours daily to all day. The surgeon indicated that my stomach might be pushing against another organ causing the discomfort.
