Just read your posting. Did your doctor do a CAT scan. The reason I ask is I had appendectomy 3 yrs ago and had increased pain last year. Scan showed a very large cyst of adhesions filled with fluid. This was a change from a sono I had in February last year. I think the doctors get too complacent when people have adhesions. You really should see about further testing just to rule out anything out of the ordinary. I needed surgery to take care of this because the pain was unbearable.
Take care, Kathy
