1. After gallbladder surgery, my mother has had acute abdominal pain more than 2 years. Recently a doctor said a small intestine scar, resulting from the surgery, might cause my mother's acute abdominal pain day and night.
The pain usually starts 1/2 hour after completing a meal.
It takes my mother about 20-25 minutes to complete a meal. How can we prove that the scar was caused by the surgeon's carelessness?
2. One way to get rid of the scar is to cut it using 'diagnostic laparoscopy'. Could this type of surgery create another 'scar'?
3. The doctor also said that 'Levsin' could relieve the bowel spasms. Does this medicine conflict with Coumadin?
My mother has congestive heart failure.
4. Thanks.
