My daughter, Cassie is 13 and has been through a intestinal blockage surgery,
then 2 years later an adhesion had caused another total blockage then 1 year
later this last december her pain was so bad, literally in and out of the
hospital for a month and finally childrens hospital did a lap on her and
found all kinds of adhesions stuck to her original appendectomy site as well
as her midline incision. She did really well for like 4 months and I thought
she was adhesion free then the pain started in, she had alot of diahrea and
she has a the diahrea only half the time now, my main concern is the pain,
she describes the pain just like last dec before her lap. It is right near
her long abdomen incision next to her belly button, this pain has gone on for
over 2 months now, it is NOT diahrea cramping pain, it is a twisting,
knifelife pain. She will go from standing to crouched down on the floor with
her knees to her chest and tears will stream down her face. I have been
giving her codeine and vicodin left over from her lap. I know going to the
emergency room won't do any good. Every test she has ever had has always
came up negative. Barium never shows anything for her. The only difference
this time is that the pain is daily but it comes both out of the blue and
when she lifts anything, i'm wondering if it could be a hernia, she has a
slight bulge in the area of pain. I would love any insight that would help
my daughter, thanks, cathy
