I've had 4 surgeries, the last being a hysterectomy with Ovaries removed
a little over a year ago, but I still have left-sided flank pain and
upper-left quadrant abdominal pains under my ribs. (Especially after a
bowel movement) I had adhesions lysed my very first surgery, that's why
I believe they were from ovarian cysts rupturing as I had problems with
my left ovary for a long time. Well about 2 or 3 years after my first
surgery, I started getting left-side flank pain. Of course I've had the
whole kidney, urological workup, CAT Scan, MRI, etc, etc. The only test
I haven't had is a barium enema which I'm wondering if it might show
anything as all of these other tests haven't. My question is, has
anyone here had pain from adhesions up that high, flank area and upper
left quadrant abdominal area and think or know it was caused from
Ovarian Cyst? Even after my hysterectomy, I still have pain in my flank
area and lately my whole left side has been bothering me. Even leg and
foot cramps on left side. A couple of months ago I tried a chiropractor
to maybe try and help the pain some. Well shortly thereafter I found
out I had 4 broken ribs on my left side. I'm almost certain from the
chiropractor. It seems the more I do to try and help the pain, the more
damage is done. (I did find out though that I have osteopenia, the
thing you get before osteoporosis. I'm 39 years old.) And I've dealt
with this left-sided pain for so long I feel it's starting to affect my
health in other ways. It is SO very frustrating. Does anyone else have
flank pain from adhesions?
