NOW I AM 31 YEARS OLD AND HAVE THE SAME PAIN IN THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE = OF MY ABDOMEN AND I AM GOING CRAZY- WENT TO MY REGULAR DR AND SHE ADMITTED ME INTO HOSP AND THEY HAD RAN SEVERAL TESTS TO SEE IF ANY OBSTRUCTION = CT SCAN NEGATIVE- ABDOMINAL ERAY- SHOWED SMALL KIDNEY STONE AND THE GENERAL SURGEON SAID HE FEELS THAT IT IS IBS AND HE DONT' BELIEVE THAT ADHESIONS CAUSE PAIN SO HE REFUSED TO FIX IT AND USE AN ADHESION BARRIER. I CALLED MY REGULAR DR ON MON AND AND SHE WAS JUST AS BAFFLED AS I- SO = SHE IS SENDING ME TO ANOTHER SURGEON FOR A SECOND OPINION. ANYONE HAVE = ANY SUGGESTIONS - I AM LOSING MY MIND WITH ALL THIS JUGGLING ACT AND MY HUSBAND IS TRYING TO BE SO SUPPORTIVE BUT I KNOW HE IS FRUSTRATED! ANY WORDS OF WISDOM WILL BE APPRECIATED
