I have recently gotten a colostomy. I had a hole in my colen and vaginal wall. My colostomy is temporary, I have had it for almost 3 weeks. I have cramps and pains as if I’m going to start my period, which I know it’s not time. When does the pain go away or when do I start feeling comfortable enough to get through my day without pain meds? Any help from anybody is appreciated.
