I've had my ileostomy for 3 months now and yesterday when I was getting my wound care done, they noticed I had swelling about 2 inches to the left of my ostomy site on my abdomen. I'm wondering if this is anything to be concerned over? It's a little tender but doesn't throb or anything like that. I have a lot of abdominal pain, but that's from my surgeries. I don't see my doctor until next Monday and not sure if I need to call in and report this. Anyone else have a problem like this? Thanks, Barbara



Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th today! I got to see my son who lives about 2 hours away. What a blessing! Had a cookout. Rained nearly all day. They had to do the grills in the rain lol! It's pouring hard out now... we've had enough rain...

If there is no pain, it could probably wait until your appointment.
