Why Having Abdominal Pain After Colon Removal?
I had a colectomy 11 months ago-- About 3-4 inches of the colon were removed to take out a flat sessile polyp. I have a four inch incision above my navel and a one inch incision on the right side of my abdomen. I am a weight trainer and returned to the gym about 10 weeks after the procedure. For the past three months I have either reoccurring or constant pain in several places in my right abdomen. The surgeon says no sign of hernia and offers no other possible cause. The only time it doesn t hurt is when I m working out . What could be the problem????

Hi.Go for CT scan , Enteroclysis and endoscopies and if required for Diagnostic Laparoscopy or laparotomy. This will hep you to get a reason and a proper treatment.
There may be associated IBS as you are not getting pain when you are working.
