severe colon pain after BM due to scar tissue

[hawaiianlily]

I have moderate crohns and after enduring severe pain in the colon for a year I finally found a doctor willing to give me a colonscopy that was too unbearable to complete.  He recommended rectal surgery saying I had an internal hemmroid.  The surgery was a disaster with an immediate undiagnosed blatter infection and stitches that completely fell out before healing.  Healing, it never happened, eight months later I suffer much worse pain than before.  After a second opioion from another surgeon he stated I my rectum was cut into incorrectly leaving a deformed which causes leaking, plus my colon now has a lot of scar tissue from the surgery and that is the major cause of the severe pain after a BM as well as muscel spasms.  Once I have a BM I am in pain the rest of the day.  Sitting is a problem and standing too long is a problem.  Now I have been told by two doctors that there is nothing that can be done for the pain but to close the rectum and move on to a colostomy bag as the only solution left.  I cry at the thought of trading one problem for another and a worse quality of life than I already have.  Is there any hope in laser surgery to remove scar tissue?  Any homopathic remcommendations?  Any hope at all?  I'm young, tired and have to make a living to survive.  I don't want to depend on pain meds for the rest of my life either.  Please, is there any help out there?

Thank you for your response.  I think you are absolutely right!

Were the two docs you consulted associated with a teaching university hospital? If not, you may want to do some research online and see if you can find a doc who is associated with a hospital/university that may have some slightly 'off-the-wall' ideas and thoughts. You're facing a difficult problem and that area of the body isn't too responsive to procedures. If you'd like to try to avoid a colostomy, checking with one of the larger institutions may be the only way to do it.
