left side pain after colectomy
by alfredlewis, May 16, 2009 11:04PM
34 male, 257lbs, 5' 10" , i had my sigmoid colon removed 3 weeks ago. due to diverticulitus. also had a perferated colon. just 2 days ago i started to experience pain on my left side mainly in my back just below or in the bottom of the rib cage. i've never had a kidney infection, but they way i describe it my wife says it sounds like it. but i don't have frequent urination, burning, or smell. the pain is dull and intensity changes, but is always there when standing and in some sitting positions. when i lay down i feel a relief and if i get in a hot tub and lay down there is no pain until i stand back up. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
