How Can Abdominal Pain After A Partial Colectomy Be Treated?
My young nephew had a partial colectomy nearly 3 weeks ago, and the last 2 days has had abdominal pain that has him lying down--he says it s not too bad but I m worried because he s had no pain at all for more than 10 days and now this... We re having trouble getting a call back from the primary Dr. Should he go to ER? Or just wait for his follow-up post-op appointment in a week?
