Thank you so much for getting back to me. I went to my family doctor again today. She is pretty sure it is scar tissue and is referring me to a surgeon. I am so worried about having another surgery to get rid of this tissue since it might grow back. My doctor said I should see what the surgeon wants to do because I might get a bowel obstruction if this is not taken care of. Guess I will just have to wait for my appointment. Thank you again and I will keep you informed.
Hello Snowyday,
Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. Please forgive my tardy response.
Yes I have very similar symptoms, although I also have a failing mesh. I have consulted numerous surgeons. The general consensuses is adhesions, misaligned organ and trapped and compromised nerves are causing much of the pain. You may have something very similar. I am not a surgical candidate....plus often surgery will only increase your pain and symptoms, at least in time.
Have you consulted a surgeon at a large teaching facility? Often they are on the cutting edge of new techniques and medicine. The surgeon may at least provide you with a diagnosis.
I am sorry for the pain and limitations that your condition imposes upon you. I can relate and my heart goes out to you.
Please keep us updated. I will look forward to hearing from you.
Take Care,
~Tuck
