Im new here.Im having surgery for hairpin turn and polyp in large intestines.They also think I have colonic inertia.They are taking out 80 percent of large intestines.I have not been able to go to the bathroom on my own in 6 mos.The only thing that has helped is magnesium citrate. That is the stuff they give you to clean you out before surgery.I have had this severe back pain on left side.It is the same side as the hairpin turn and polyp.The pain is a burning numbing prickly feeling.What im wondering is there any way this pain could be caused from whats going on in my large intestines? Will it get better after surgery.Has any one out there had this surgery? what do I expect? how long healing?Any help would be appriciated
