Wind pain!

Hi, I am nearly 7 mths post op. Had total hysterectomy plus lymph nodes taken. Op area still slightly painful and sensitive. Still suffer with terrible wind pains! (never had them before op) was told could be scar tissue round the bowel?! anyone else with this problem?

Sorry to hear you're getting pain.

The only pain sensors we have in the bowel are those for stretching. It is a fascinating fact that your bowel could be cut or burned, and you would not experience pain. But, if stretched...depending on the degree..........you could be in agony.

If you have pain every time you pass wind, it is quite posible that your bowel is adhered to something and gets stretched a little, every time that air flies through. I have the same situation, and have been told that I probably do have some adhesions, with this symptom being my only side effect. For some reason, the movement of stool does not bother me....maybe because it is slower? At any rate, I've learned to stay away from foods that cause me a lot of gas, including carbonated beverages.

Hope this helps. Take care.................s..Deb

Thanks a lot for your message, perhaps that is my problem and maybe it is one of those things I have to learn to live with! still, anything is better than cancer!!!
thanks again.x
