I really hate being in pain, it seems so ridiculous that after about 17 years, you'd think they would have found something to help, not only do I hate the pain, I hate not being able to go out and do stuff like everyone else, it makes me feel so useless and worthless! I just wish that I could find something to take this pain away!!
Sorry, I just had to vent a little bit!

Where is your pain? What brings it on?

My pain is in the middle of my abdomen, and it's usually always there, but I also hurt after I eat anything, it's irritating

Ok, but what is causing the pain? Did you got it checked?

Is it different from your usual pain? That's where I had gallbladder pain. Usually had nothing to do with eating so it made it hard to diagnose when going on symptoms.

Yup, when my gall bladder acted up I thought someone broke my ribs! had trouble breathing, and all kinds of stupid issues..and, I thought I was having blockage issues..they just did another c.t. scan and found a grapefruit sized ovarian cyst wrapped in and around what is left of my good intestine...so, DON"T ignore pain!! get it checked out! good luck :)

I don't really know what exactly is causing my pain, I have had my gallbladder removed, so that's not it.

My mom read something that was about phantom pain, like if someone had their arm amputated, but they can feel like it itches, my mom had a thought that perhaps my brain doesn't really know that my colon is gone.

my husband also complains of pain behind stoma especially after eating, more so when his belly is empty and he needs to eat. I feel so bad, thought that with the coloectomy this pain would all end. He is going in tomorrow at 6 am to have a jpouch constructed, w/ a temp. loop ileostomy, hoping for take down end of Jan. 2013. Hang in there, my prayers are with you.
