Hi, I had a resection and temp ileostomy 2 weeks ago. When I move a certain way I get a sharp pain that is so painful, but only lasts until I change position, I am thinking it may be the abdominal muscle healing, anyone else have this? thanks.

    I would give the Doctor a call to rest your mind.
    I have not had that pain but why not call the doctor to rest your mind. It may not be anything but a quick call is the best thing to do. Nip it in the bud now.

    More than likely it's
    More than likely it's adhesions, which should clear up with time, but ask your Doc if it persists or gets worse.

    Adhesions
    I agree with Carl. It is more than likely adhesions that is causing the pain. I've had several surgeries and get that tweak every now and then still - and it can be painful I know. Not much can be done about those - I had it a couple of months ago and was walking doubled over it hurt so bad. Then it cleared up. Comes and goes.

    You can ask your doc but this looks to be your culprit.

    I agree with lizzy
    I had this too from my second surgery it was just because i was moving too much, but as lizzy suggest a call to your doctor is your best bet. Just call he will make just a quick examination to see the tenderness. if it's getting tender meaning it's healing good i think. so call to put your mind at rest.
    Good luck
