I am two years out from the takedown of my temp ileostomy. Since I have been getting into more core exercises recently, I have noticed if I do certain things, like a full bend in yoga, I get a cramp in the area behind where my ileo was. I had the doc check it, and he said there is no hernia, that is it possibly scar tissue. He doesn't seem overly concerned, and frankly, I am not willing to get more scans/test at this point, just for this. My recent CAT scans were clean. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem in the ileo area?

I get them when I do certain activities or even just if I get up too quick or turn in a funny way. The pain is pretty bad, but luckily only lasts for a couple seconds and I'm able to just "walk it off". I always assumed it was just all the scar tissue that had built up, but sometimes it does get pretty painful.
Thank you! That's it exactly! Glad to know I'm not nuts.
No, not at all! 
Someone once told me to try doing yoga to help...I have yet to try it, but if I do I'll let you know how it goes

LOL...yoga is good for many things, but honestly, I am lifting weights & doing crunches at the gym & I don't seem to get the spasms then. It really seems to happen when I am bending forward... which is during yoga. And cleaning house.
HAHA, then I guess I won't be trying that for a while! 
Yoga or cleaning house
I have had funny feeling in that site. More like something was clogging up inside, no pain really. It goes away and now is very infrequent.
