is exploritory surgery my only relief?

I am a 36 yr old male who has been experiencing severe abdominal pain and passing blood in stool, 13 yrs ago suffered a severed lower intestine in a car accident, approximately3-4 yrs ago had similar pain and problems resulting in 2 laproscopic surgeries the first finding nothing and the second finding a pocket of adhesions not visible in the MRI or CAT scan the removal cured the problem for the past few years barring some discomfort after certain foods or a night of drinking. Now the issues have returned and after spending 2 days in the hospital was discharged on antibiotics for an "infection". Is exploritory surgery my only relief every few years for this recurring problem?

Kelnellis, consider contacting a professional who does visceral manipulation via the Barral Institute. Person trained in that field often deal with adhesion issues and treatment can be very effective. It's worth a try.

Scheduled for a colonoscopy soon, but will that be able to locate the adhesions causing the pain?
