Back pain after ileostomy surgery - anyone else experiencing this?

Topic Explanation
The initial post discusses the experience of back pain after ileostomy surgery and the doctor's denial of its association with the surgery. The poster expresses frustration and seeks validation from others who may have experienced similar issues.

Advice and Insights
- Some doctors may deny the possibility of certain side effects due to their own ignorance or reluctance to acknowledge negative outcomes of their procedures.
- Seeking alternative medical opinions, such as from a cranial osteopath, can provide relief from back pain caused by altered abdominal muscles after ileostomy surgery.
- Chronic constipation and pelvic floor muscle weakening due to surgery can lead to back pain, and physiotherapy and exercises can help strengthen the muscles.
- Back pain after ileostomy surgery may be related to osteoporosis caused by malnutrition, and taking supplements can be beneficial.
- Seeking pain management and acupuncture treatment can provide relief from back pain after surgery.
- Back pain after ileostomy surgery can be associated with nerve damage, and seeking specialized medical opinions, such as from a back specialist, can help in finding non-surgical approaches to the situation.
- Chronic back pain after surgery can be managed with medication, maintaining a healthy weight, and being more active to strengthen muscles and reduce stress on the spine.
- Using a hot water bottle and avoiding prolonged standing can help alleviate back pain after ileostomy surgery.
