Experiencing Pain at My Colostomy Incision Site

This topic is about someone who recently had a second colostomy surgery after a previous reversal led to complications. They are now experiencing ongoing pain and soreness at the incision site, particularly when they move, and are seeking advice or shared experiences from others.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. Experiencing pain after surgery can be a normal part of the healing process. However, if the pain is new or getting worse, it's important to consult a healthcare professional to ensure there are no complications.

2. One possible cause of pain at the incision site could be an infection, such as cellulitis. Be on the lookout for signs like redness, warmth, or other symptoms of infection, and seek medical attention promptly if these occur.

3. The location of the new colostomy can also play a role. If it was created near or on the original site, there might be a higher chance of irritation or infection. This is another reason to keep a close eye on the area and report any concerns to a doctor.
