A member asked:
If small bowel cancer causes colicky pain then what is the likely hood that pain would be diffused rather than isolated.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Understand pathways: Colicky pain is crampy caused by hypermotility or contracting against a blockage - typically starts and stops abruptly and located in the middle of the abdomen. Pain that localizes suggests that there is irritation underneath, either infection or growth. For more information about these cancers, see: http://my.Clevelandclinic.Org/disorders/small_intestine_cancer/hic_small_intestine_cancer.Asp.
