scar tissue cause for abdominal pain???

Hi
I would like peoples thoughts....
If you've seen my previous posts....I've had upper abdominal pain for the past 17 months. I've had my gallbladder removed laporoscopically and had every test under the sun done and everything has shown normal.

The doctor now thinks that scar tissue/adhesions are the cause of my pain and has injected my diaphragm just around my scar from the surgery from Dec 09 (which is red and raised) with local anaesthetic and a steroid solution. He even said that while he was injecting that he could feel scar tissue with the needle.....?!?!?!

My question is, could scar tissue cause constant pain like this? and is there any cures other than trying more surgery to cut the scars....(obviously Im worried about more scarring occurring)

If you could add some wisdom I'd be very grateful!

Sarsi, consider visceral manipulation which is a form of osteopathy. A French osteopath - J.P. Barral - teaches it and practitioners work with those who have adhesions caused by surgery or inflammatory processes within the abdominal cavity. You can look for a practitioner of VM at the iahp.com website. See if there is anyone in your area who is well-trained and can give you a hand trying to figure out if it is, indeed, scar tissue causing the problem.
