Unfortunately, adhesions, or fibrous bands of connective scar-like tissue, are not uncommon post-op complications of appendectomies, colostomies and hysterectomies. The resultant pain comes from the constant pull of the area where the organ operated on becomes attached at a small point to the inside of the body cavity. The most common resolution to this is, unfortunately, another quick operation to release or cut this connection and allow the organs their natural movement in body cavities.

Anytime you have a surgery you run the risk of forming new adhesions. Sometimes, however, you don't have the choice of not having lysis of adhesions either due to colon blockage or pain. They now have a few different types of barriers that they can use to help you from forming adhesions, but they are not 100%, you still run that risk. Also in answer to your back pain, the answer could be yes. I don't know your medical background so I don't know that all of your pain is due to adhesions but I do know that adhesions can cause back pain. Adhesion pain is not always at the site of the adhesion. When organs, muscles, and all our insides are being pulled too tight or shifted in a way not normal it will cause pain.
