Hello Bloomer and thanks for posting

It sounds like you've been through a really tough time with your surgery and treatment, and it's understandable to feel worried about any new or lingering sensations.

After such major surgery, it's normal to have ongoing aches, tightness and odd sensations as your body heals. Scar tissue, internal swelling, and changes in how your remaining organs settle can all cause discomfort.

The steroids you've been prescribed are making you a little better for now, but it's good that you're keeping an eye on your symptoms. A small amount of pain can be part of healing, but if it get's worse or feels different, it's always best to check in with your doctor. I appreciate waiting for scan results is stressful but try and take things one step at a time until you know more.

I hope this reply helps a little. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,
