A member asked:
Do you still feel pain a couple of months after sigmoid colon surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It is possible: I do not know where your pain is located or how frequent it is. There can be aching discomforts from healing muscles that may be more noticeable when you increase your activities such as walking or exercises. Also sometimes there can be internal gas pains that may come and go as the intestines heal after surgery. Check with your surgeon.

Yes: Discomfort from surgery can last up to 3 months as wounds heal and inflammation resolves.
