I have a parastomal hernia with an ileostomy for about 10 years. Lately, my right side of the back near the waistline has started aching, especially when lying down. Could this be hernia-related?

Do you remember any activity where you were moving and that's when it started to hurt?

If it just started and you don't remember a specific injury, it might be worth a call to your primary care to rule out other possible causes of pain.

Yes, check it out and see it's not something else causing the pain.
