Ive never heard of the adhesion, but I had something similar to that a few years ago, they couldnt figure out what it was but I was in tears because of it (although for the longest time they tought I was faking) they took my appendix out and I felt better, the doc said I probably had chrinoc appendicitis

not saying thats what you have, just giving you another idea as to what it could be

anyway hope you feel better soon, and dont trust hopitals they have to go so fast they often times miss the simplest things

They gave me a cat scan and said my appendix looked good....The only thing unusual they found was a cyst on my pancreas but thats not where I hurt.....

I'm sorry you've been feeling this way. Unfortunatly, I can't be of much hlep. My mom had an ovarian cyst rupture when she was younger. It eventually irritated her appendix and it nearly killed her. They doctors initially wrote off the pain as being from her cyst. If she hadn't been so persistant, and went home when they dismissed her she would have died. All i'm saying is, even though it is not your appendix now, if you start vomiting get yourself to a hospital asap.

Thanks. I do feel nauseous... However I just started taking new medicine for bowel constipation (called dicyclomine) and I think thats whats causing the nausea.

I went to the e-room on monday and they gave me a cat scan. The scan didn't show anything so they sent me home and told me to call my regular physician. I went to my doctor yesterday and she examined me but it hurt so much when she touched my abdomen that I screamed and started to cry, so she called an ambulance and sent me back to the e-room. They drew blood and eveything was normal so they sent me home... I don't know what else to do! The e-room doctor referred me to a surgeon to get an laproscopic procedure done... The pain feels like a sharp stab and is followed by a burning sensation. It worsens with movement... What should I do?

Being constapated can also cause pain. Hopefully not the amount of pain your in, just an idea. And I also wanted to add that adhesions are suppose to be very painfull. They are suppose to be similar in pain to endometriosis. I think they do a sonogram to diagnose that. I could be wrong though.

I'm not constipated anymore. The surgeon I am supposed to see said that the only way to diagnose adhesions is through laparoscopy. He said there is no "indirect" (ie: cat scan, ultrasound, x-ray) way to diagnose. On a scale of 1-10 the pain is an 8... I have a feeling it's my apendix but the blood test came back negative.

I have had a laporoscopy before. It wasn't bad, I have two very small scars. So try not to be worried if they do decide that it would in your best intrest to do that exploritatively (sp?). Did they say anything about doing an endoscopy to rule out anything intestinal? That is a less invasive procedure.

I had a laperoscopy when I had my appendix out, I got 2 little scars on my stomach and one more in my belly button area...Its not that bad but make sure you are careful wtih it, I was pretty much incapacitated because I wasnt takeing care of it properly and doing too much and pulled a mucsle then 2 of them (the belly button one and the bigger of the 2 on the stomach) got infected pretty bad

hope they figure it out soon

.Poor .Meg. When do you go to the surgeon?

i'm on dicyclomine but it's never made me nauseous.

Adhesions are when scar tissue from surgury bonds to internal tissues.

Because of the problems I had with my incision healing I have a few adhesions.
Sometimes they are quite bad.

The best thing for them is gentle massage and stretching this softens and stretches the scar tissue so that it causes less pain and restriction.

But be gentle - you have to allow your body to heal properly so no vigourous step classes or heavy lifting.

Slow controlled exercise like simple yoga (don't go getting advanced) or just sticking with some simple warm up/cool down stretching exercises is the best and take it slow and steady.

Sounds like kidney stones have they checked for that yet? I am sorry you are in pain I hope all go's well take care of yourself.

They want to do an endoscopy first.... I went today and they are supposed to call me to schedule the appointment..... They think it's my bowels....

Well, i hope that they get to the bottom of things. I have also had and endoscopy. It is completely painless, and much less invasive than a laporoscopy. Hope all goes well!

thanks.

What exactly is an endoscopy? Is that when they stick the thing in your anus? I'm too lazy to .google
