I have a question concerning phantom pains/sensations. I am about to undergo the 2nd part of my surgery where they'll be removing my rectum, anal canal, basically sewing my butthole anyway, has anyone on here experienced this kind of surgery? Any phantom pains/sensations? If so, how is it? Is it enough to mess with you psychologically? I'm the kind of person that has a hard time dealing with those kinds of things. My epidural, when having my son for example, liked to drive me crazy! Lol
