[|Human|] I had colon sectioning surgery last December and a week later went back to surgery for a small bowel obstruction.  My stomach was dying ; as air had backed up into it.  I had 3 surgeries to resolve my problem within a 2 week period.  Now almost a year later I am having terrible lower back and hip and lower stomach pain.  I think that it could be related, but am not sure.  Would having to cut the stomach muscles and operate so many times cause my sciatic nerve to get irritated?  I had a spinal for pain control.  I hurt really bad sometimes.  My lower abdomen has separated and I look like I have a backside in the front.  Can I do something to make this look better and what can I do about the pain?
[|AI|]  Hi, About sciatic nerve: No, during abdominal surgery doctors won't touch sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve involvement presents with different type of symptoms. The problem may be due to any abdominal cause, spinal or due to musculoskeletal problem. Get one USG abdomen and pelvis and X-ray erect abdomen to know if any problem and get examined by your doctor. For cosmetic looks you need to consult your surgeon to discuss on it based on the current condition and examination., Now take plenty of fluids and can take diclofenac with tizanidine after discussing with your doctor for pain. Hope this helps you. Regards
