My provider, who was with Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, TX talked to someone at Mayo Clinic in the Physical Pain Rehabilitation Department which led to a nightmare of inability to be checked. I had had 6 1/2 hour unnecessary sigmoid resection which led to a hernia - the hernia was evident while at Mayo. This led to another surgery.  I reported extreme pain/symptoms following surgery (also reported to surgeon who blew me off) and now, because "Chronic Pain" is my label, I cannot get attention to the fact that following hernia surgery I started having extreme abdominal cramps; could not clean out for colonostomy; incontinence (fecal) many changes, but, I smell a rat.  The Trauma Surgeon I recently saw was looking at an old CT; said surgeon who did the surgery is highly regarded but, facts are facts, yet, nobody will try to piece together.  So, active, healthy, never had gastro issues prior, I can't be taken seriously.  My body is full of mesh.  The night of the surgery, I broke the epidural because it apparently hit nerves that sent me into pain unlike anything I had ever had, yet, because of pain from MVA, this was dismissed as "she's always in pain"  

Why, if prior to surgery, I did not have fecal incontinence, did not have major pain in area where colon was removed and hernia repair was done, would a doctor choose to look closely.  He was looking at old tests.  Said he would have films reviewed but didn't.

Mayo Clinic - they can do no wrong?  So, I went from back pain to this?  And, nobody will trace the issue?  

I wrote to the surgeon who did hernia repair and told him about new symptoms.  He said to send tests to him and he'd pick doctors; however, he had already left Mayo (apparently sued) so why would he want to see tests?  I've seen doctor after doctor cover their backs; they will not put patient first, in my experience. 

Now, I will report Brooke Army Hospital.
