On the 1st of March, I had to have a permanent colostomy with an APR due to rectum cancer.
Since then, I have had so much pain in my anus/tailbone area. I can only seem to stand and sit for about 20 minutes at a time before I have to lay down because of the pain. The other thing is I also seem to have pain in my man jewels...sorry for that but I need the help. Is this normal and when should I be getting past this pain? Everything else seems to be healing up well, it's just that ole butt that hurts...
When I can, I'm able to look back there, it does not seem to be infected, no drainage.
Thank you.
