Still can't get on

I have a colostomy and an ileal conduit wee stoma.

I have loads of problems with my colostomy; it's been 6 years since I had them both. The wee stoma is fine, but the colostomy is an ongoing pain. I see the consultant tomorrow; I need another revision. I had one done in Dec '14. Now the stoma is bleeding warts.

So for all of you that have no problems, you're lucky. I had a perfectly good bowel and bladder. I had a compression of the spine, so I needed these stomas. They left my bladder in, but it went septic, so they removed it. I have had 10 major operations, all caused by me being left in compression of my spine for 6 days. I am also disabled; I have established cauda equina syndrome. I don't feel comfortable with my stomas; you can see the bags, so I wear baggy tops. It's not a picnic for me.

Hello keithy58.
Thank you for your post and I'm sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble.
I had not come across the term 'cauda equine syndrome' before but, have looked it up, I can see how debilitating it could be.
I hope things go well with your surgeon and that you begin to make some better progress in the future.
Best wishes
Bill
