Small bowel adhesions after colon resection.

Hey guys,

Haven't been on here in a while. Just wanting a little help. I've had Crohns for 8 years now and always seemed to struggle with it on and off tired numerous types of medication.

I had a right hemicolectomy at 16. Last year I was really sick in and out of hospital for 4 months 43 days all up and was on TPN for 3 week prior to my op. I had 3 strictures one in my rectum, which resulted in me having a ileostomy with the intention of reversing it but no such luck. The stricture in my rectum could not be fixed or removed and put back together, not that I'd want to risk it all falling apart anyways. I've just had a colon resection and a permanent colostomy 7 weeks ago.

Everything was going fine then last week had a constant pain to the right side going through to my back around my ribs almost like a stitch that would not go away. I wasn't sure if i felt sick earlier on in the day I was out with friends having a few drink and went home early. Within about 45 mins the pains had got a lot worse and I started feeling really sick and vomiting with no bowel movements or passing wind. I ended up in emergency vomiting and in pain. They gave me two options I could be admitted or I could go home try and enema and have a ct scan the next day. Well I chose to go home I've had enough of hospital! I ended up back there in the morning still not passing anything, vomiting and pain they wanted to do a scan as they thought that it might be a gallbladder, it wasn't it was a small bowel obstruction.

Now I'm constantly trying to analyze every little pain and if I haven't passed anything through my stoma for a while I'm really worried. Yesterday I felt like I kind of had the same pains as last week but I was passing wind so my bowel is working. My stomach today feels a little tender I don't know if thats normal for what I've just been through? I just don't want to be worried all the time, I'm 20 I just want to start getting on with my life. Should I be worrying all the time? Is i likely that It's gonna happen again straight away?

Thanks Tash :)
