Hi,

The commonest reasons for your symptoms can be one the following:
* Muscle like pain in the upper abdomen after ileostomy can be due to local inflammation or collection in the abdominal wall that is easily missed.
* The pain on the left side of abdomen can be due to residual inflammation post colectomy or again collection of pus or so.

The best way to get a proper diagnosis is a CT scan or MRI of the whole abdomen may pick up many a reasons that can not be picked on clinical examination, relevant tests of blood, urine and stool. All this will a proper cause of the pains and allow for proper medical and/or surgical management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
