Mother61,stage 2b colon cancer,left hemicolectomy2months ago,still experiencing right abdominal pain now and then,also her colonoscopy wasn't total,just the desending and proximal transverse colon was evaluated,what could be the cause for pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Right abd pain: It could be nothing and then again it can be something. Hard to believe they didn't completely scope your mother's entire colon. It can be appendicitis, internal hernia, leak from the site of anastomosis resulting in an abscess. Better go see the surgeon who did the original operation.
