15 months since total proctolectomy and I've just started getting that familiar horrible 'constant urgency' UC/ bowel cancer pain.
I recall similar but much milder sensations for a couple of months post-surgery but usually upon rising from bed, and it would go away after several minutes.
This is causing me concern because it's effectively emanating from a part of my body that no longer exists.
I realize that a group of severed nerve-endings could possibly be the culprit and if it continues, I'll call my surgeons office. I've tried extra-strength Tylenol but I didn't expect it to work and it didn't. Maybe she will up my pregabalin (lyrica) I'm currently on 2x25mg. Or even increasing my MMJ (currently 1.5 g)
I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has/had similar symptoms?
Any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
