I have recently undergone a Right Hemicolectomy (part of the bowel and colon cut out) to relieve he pains of Crohns disease, the operation went well . . . until i developed an infection adhesions and a twisted bowel. I had to have a laperotomy (sorry about spelling). Now 6 weeks after the operation I want to get on with my life (I'm only 17!) but i'm having continous pain. The doctors say its an adhesion but only a small one. I'm fully functional going to the toilet, it's just the pain. He put me on buscopan to relieve the spasms but they don't seem to have worked. The pain sems to build up and then make lots of gurgling noises then the pain goes. I ould like to hear from anyone who is in or has been in this situation before. I really don't want to hear that it will never go unless I have surgery, is this right? the doctors think it will eventually go itself. I hope so.
