Anybody feeling anthing weird inside after surgery? I had 10 inches of colon removed in March, and ever since I feel something heavy or full in the area where the tumor was. The last scan I had was in June and it didn't show anything but scar tissue and a uterine fibroid. I have HUGE, bulky, frequent stools. I wonder if I can feel stool moving past the anastamosis. I have a very hypersensitive IBS bowel, and have had for many years. I feel every little gas bubble and peristaltic squeeze. Ironicly, I DIDN'T feel the tumor growing. Or I couldn't distinguish it from all the other backgorund noise going on in there. I just wonder if other people can feel their surgical sites, or if it's just an IBS thing. My oncologist isn't too concerned at this point because the physical exam is normal and the last scan looked good, but if it keeps up or gets worse, I'm going to ask for another scan or a sono or something.
Last year my left ovary was complaining, but all the sono showed was the fibroid pressing on it. The colon mass wouldn't necessarily show up on a pelvic sono. In retrospect, I guess there was a lot of stuff in the left lower abdomen playing musical chairs, and the ovary was the one getting crowded out. Ovarian pain is a very unique sensation. Different from what I'm feeling now.
