Hi! I haven't posted in a while. In Sept./16, I had a subtotal colectomy toxic megacolon (colon sepsis); end result an End Ileostomy. (I had cardiac arrest during the procedure) Been basically getting along okay.
These past few days, every so often, I get a sharp pain inside (feels like it's inside the stoma and surrounding area). The only way to describe it is that it feels like pinching skin with fingernails or a sharp knife. There's been lots of output, so I don't think it's a blockage. Is it possible a particle gets blocked while other stuff gets through? It's not continuous; it starts every so often, then seems to stop on its own. I tried heating pads and massaging the area; this didn't make it better or worse.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms? My wife is a retired RN; she can't see anything noticeable from the outside of the stoma.
Side note: I have prostate cancer; don't know if anything here would be affecting this.
Thanks
Lloyd
