post surgical pain continues

Hello! I posted this to CD and UC and it was suggested to post here also.
My daughter had a resection, 4 cm, due to a stricture and an ulcer at the old stoma site (she has a j pouch for 10 years) she is just 6 weeks post op and will see her surgeon again on Monday.

She is still having pain, not blockage pain, but bloating and intestinal pain almost like before the surgery. Her Drs. said at her last visit, 3 weeks ago, that her intestines need to settle down and heal after the surgery, plus she had been suffering with this pain, while away at college for 5 months, before she came home and had the surgery.

Has anyone had post surgical pain for this long, after surgery?

Thank you!

Best to you and your healing and moving forward!

No fever. She is just so worried since the pain feels similar to what she felt before the surgery AND she had just had another surgery in January, a strictureplasty just 1 cm away from this stricture site, so the surgeon removed the January strictureplasty site along with this new stricture. So this is the 2nd surgery in that area in less than 7 months.
