Adhesions from gallbladder removal a year and a half ago

Hello,
I had my gallbladder removed almost two years ago. This past month I
have been having pain below my belly button that has been pretty
constant. It gets worse if I walk pushing a stroller, doing yard work
or sometimes just sitting in a chair. My PCP did some blood tests and
an exam and told me that he could find nothing wrong, but go to the ER
if I felt worse. It was very disappointing. After doing some internet
research I attempted to self diagnosis and came up with adhesions. I
called my surgeon next and he did more blood tests and a CT scan for a
possible hernia. Again, nothing showed up. He seems to agree that I
have adhesions.
Has anyone had luck getting an actual diagnosis? Is this something that
I will have to just live with? I would prefer non surgical treatments,
but I feel my doctors are just kind of scratching their heads and
saying, "huh." Massage, exercise, what has worked for you?
Thanks,
