Stoma Extension: Real or Misunderstood in Pain?

hello  my baggy friends spent the whole day at the hospital saturday rush by ambulance severe pain i thought i had a bad blockage turns out from lugging tables down 2 flights of stairs the night before i pull the stomach muscles that did damage to my stoma now the doctor at the outpatient mention to me about a a stoma extension is there such a thing or was i too stone on painkillers and misunderstood ?

Hi myziy .. sorry to hear about your troubles.  Unfortunately I have never heard about this.  Did you try the on-site ostomy nurse?  Maybe she could educate all of us.  



Hang in there!  And no more lifting tables, ok?

thank you suziq its goes with the job ive been there too long to leave and it has blue cross i just have to put up with the crap its either gonna kill me or disable me i really dont have a choice but thanks for your support

Miyzy,



I lifted the world from every angle you can imagine.  I never had a problem with hernia's or "extending" the stoma.



I guess if a person were really flexing their stomach muscles it could put a squeeze on their stoma.  It never happened to me.  I used to do sit ups with the stoma.  Lots of push ups.



Stop and think about it for a second.  For a guy making love with a stoma does not seem to be problematic as far as I have ever heard.  Well, other than finding a partner this is.
