HI,
ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? I HAD A RT HEMI ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO, BUT I STILL EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL PAIN ON MY LEFT SIDE. PRIOR TO THE SURGERY I HAD MY APPENDIX OUT, SO I EXPECTED RT SIDE PAIN-NOT LEFT?

THANKS, MARIA

    Pain
    You might have adhesions or other scarring remaining from your surgery. I know that I have occasional pain in the right side where my appendix was, and I, too, had a rt hemicolectomy. Still, when in doubt, give your dr a call.
