Hi everyone. Think a lot of you know my story. Divedticular abcess caused by infection and perforation. Had no idea i had the abscess for 5 months. Just felt unwell. Nothing on blood tests. Bowel resection last yeayear in May bag for 3 months, successful reversal in august. However, although my bowel is functioning well, i have similar symptoms to when i had abscess, which funnily ebough was bladder discomfort, chills etc. Saw surgeon this morn. Hes sending me for ct scan to see if there's inflammation or another abscess( unlikely he thinks) but possible inflammation. Has this happened to anyone? Would appreciate advice.

      After I've had all of the surgery, i wouldn't have thought this could happen. Anyone out there who has had surgery had further problems with abscess or inflammation?
