Hello everyone,
I had my rectum and anus removed along with other things due to a rectal tumor back in 2000.The pain was intense enough back then and gradually improved over a couple months.But it never stopped hurting,it's the same now as it was 2 months after surgery and radiation.I've gone everywhere and done everything suggested but still must live around it.Does anyone have a suggestion for something other than drugs,nerve blocks,therapy,tens,acupuncture or other conventional treatments?
Thank you

I'm so sorry to hear you are experiencing this pain. I'm afraid I don't have much advise. I had rectum/anus removed for rectal cancer in 2003 but, after recovering from radiation then surgery, I have not had any pain. There must be individual variation in terms of nerve involvement, etc. It sounds like you have already tried many many things. You've probably consulted with a pain specialist. Hypnosis? But I'm just brainstorming here....Good luck to you.
