My last surgery I did was open, not laparoscopic. Ever since that surgery 10/2019 I have had major abdominal pain, like spasms, waves. It goes and come. I saw a gastro and he prescribe dicyclomine and it has helped with the severe pains of the waves, but still get the pain. From all my scans I have dilated small distal bowel loops. Surgeons say that this happens alot with Abdominal Open surgery and since I am still passing stool and not getting obstructions they don't want to do more surgery. Does anyone else experience this after abdominal open surgery? Any recommendations on how to deal with it. I take GASx to see if it helps, but really doesn't. The pain use to not happen this often but I get it every day now, before it was once every 2 weeks, or if I ate too much food etc...
I would get the wave of pain then a whole bunch of gurgling noises.
It's confusing on how to stop this from happening, I though about fasting to see if that would help.
Please let me know if anyone else experience this.
Thanks,
