Hi, I'm now 5 weeks post-op for diverticulitis, have a colostomy (had open surgery twice back to back) and wondering if anyone has/had hip and pelvic pain after their surgery? I didn't have hip/pelvic pain until this week… I was doing well and started noticing waking up at night with hip/pelvic pain but mostly it's after walking. I think it's the way I'm sleeping, could be arthritis maybe, but doc appt isn't until Wednesday so thought I would take to the site and see if anyone experienced something similar weeks/months after surgery and what resolved it if anything? I have high anxiety, it's really bad to be honest and am freaked out and terrified by every single thing then I worry so much I can't eat or sleep. Anyone with something similar?
