I need advice. I had a hemicolectomy in October of 06. Since then I
have recurring abdominal pain. I had a CAT scan done and it showed some
adhesions in my abdomen. My surgeon does not like to do surgery to clip
the adhesions so I continue to suffer. The pain has become almost
constant and sometimes quite severe. I think I may be developing an
intestinal blockage. So here is where I need the advice. Do I call the
doctor and insist on another surgery or do I just continue to suffer
until my intestine is completly blocked and have to go the the emergency
room? I have nausea almost all the time and I am beginning to lose my
desire to eat. It hurts just to pass gas and really hurts when I have a
bowel movement. I stay pretty constipated even though I take a stool
softner and eat quite a bit of fiber. I live in Amarillo TX. Does
anyone know a doc who specializes in adhesions here in Amarillo? Please
help.
