Chronic Pain After Bowel Surgery
11/30/2011 |
Question:
My daughter had her large bowell removed and is in constant pain. A scan showed she does not have a hernia. Pain relief is not really effective. She had the operation three years ago and has suffered ever since. Can anyone help?
Answer:
Your daughter has chronic pain. If her gastroenterology doctors have not found a cause for her pain, she may benefit from seeing a chronic pain specialist.
