Hi everyone,
I had a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy at the end of August 2013. I recovered quickly and resumed my regular activities almost right away. My scar has also healed really wel. Since my surgery, however, I've been feeling some sort of "stretching" pain. When I take really big abdominal breaths or if i flex my abdomen, it feels as though I am pulling something in my right abdomen where my colon was removed. It is not painful and I would describe it as mild discomfort. Also, that discomfort seems to be a bit worse when I have gas or bloating. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue or anything similar. Could this be from the scarring after the surgery? My oncologist seems to think so but I'm paranoid.
