Excruciating Pain Below Stoma After Revision Surgery

This topic is about someone who recently had a stoma revision surgery and is now dealing with severe burning pain in the lower abdomen, just below the stoma. The pain is particularly intense when standing or walking, to the point where it forces them to their knees, and unfortunately, their current pain medication isn't helping. They're reaching out to see if others have experienced something similar and what solutions might exist.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Contact your surgeon as soon as possible. If you can't get an appointment right away, consider going to the emergency room. Severe and persistent pain after surgery is not normal and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly.

2. There is a possibility that the pain could be related to intercostal nerves being trapped in scar tissue or caught in sutures during the surgery, leading to irritation and inflammation. This could cause the burning or stabbing sensation around the colostomy site.
