I've been told that the pain underneath the skin beside my stoma is likely nerve damage. My skin looks fine. Has anyone else been told this?

No, can't say I've ever heard that. What nerves specifically do they think are damaged?

I did suffer short-term nerve pain around my stoma after surgery and took some nerve pain medication but eventually subsided.

I have nerve pain from the scar tissue from my midline. In the cold, it acts up but not as bad as it used to. My surgery was almost 3 years ago. It will depend on how deep your scar tissue is and how it healed. (According to my doctor)
