Oh man, I cannot be having this happen to me right now!!! I have my surgery scheduled for 9/25!!! For the last 3 weeks, I have been filling up on food (dinner at less than half of a small portion to begin with). I told my husband that I would be better off if I just got a child's meal considering how much of it I eat. I start and just fill up so fast I feel like I will pop. My pain is in the middle of the right side of my back. Considering the position, I thought it could be my kidney but after hearing you and you were speaking what I have been going through this last weeks!! I feel as though as I walk, I am going to pass out the pain can be so bad. the rest of the pain I have I know is due to adhesions especially in the lower part of both sides but it is the pain in my middle/lower back that has me concerned. I wish there was more I could find out about the symptoms. Can anyone tell me know this works; the start of the pain, what it is like when you have had it a while, can it be treated by meds or does it have to resort to therapy (physical that is)? Do you think it will interfere with my 9/25 "date" with Drs. Reich and Redan, and I am afraid that if I am having this, it will take even longer to get to the good Drs. R&R. Anyone's help on this will be greatly appreciated!!!
