And if they can regenerate nerve ends to a new place, maybe after taking away our rectum and anus, containing a bunch of nerves, or a large amount of our insides. They can prevent the chronic nerve pain some get as a result, Albeit in the rare cases.
I have the K pouch because of unbearable, unrelenting pain in my anus after re-do Jpouch surgery . Totally debilitating!
Just a thought. Someone out there may know more about this? Those phantom pains can come from any nerve disturbance. Be great if they could use this method to help more people in need .
Do hope this didn’t seem off topic Robin, it’s just when I have ask my Dr about any issues about feeling stuck to my X butt or pulling in my abdomen he/they always say it maybe scar tissue after so many operations and how they are putting pressure on nerves, or can be phantom pains etc. So this came up in the local news on a recent case. Maybe a Colo-rectal Dr could get interested in it.
Not much worse than a pain in the a—, huh? 🥴 Ya’ll have a good day
