I had my j-pouch and ileostomy take down all in one procedure on November 21st.
This morning I woke with a nagging ache under the old stoma site. It is a bit tender to touch but not really uncomfortable. I don't have a fever, and it is not red. I feel excellent other than the pain. My output is markedly decreased today. I'm just wondering if it is possible to develop a hernia that does not bulge on the outside of the abdomen?
I'm not too worried as Tylenol/Advil are working (just a little bit concerned).
