Hiya, I had an emergency colectomy last year due to UC. I decided to go for a J-pouch and had my rectum removed. The J-pouch was formed 3 weeks ago (I'll have takedown surgery in a few months). I'm recovering very well, no problems at all apart from really awful pain in my bladder when I go to the toilet. I've been on antibiotics in case I had a water infection from the catheter, but still no better! Did anyone else experience anything like this? I'm scared something may have been damaged in surgery :-/
