Could swelling after colonoscopy cause muscle repair damage? 7 months post-op. (Photos)

November 22, 2017
Asked By:Jbenoit in Baton Rouge, LA

I had a tt revision on April 25, 2017. On August 9, 2017 I had a routine colonoscopy in which the doctor perforated my colon and caused me to become septic. My abdomen became very swollen and hard. This lasted several weeks. My infection was removed with a drain. Now my abdomen is back to the way it was before tt revision. Could the swelling from the perforation cause my muscle repair to be reversed? The picture I'm posting show my abdomen with swelling after botched colonoscopy.
