More Symptom Questions

Like all of you I am desperately searching for the right
thing to do. I have two large incisional scars that
cross each other. (One vertical (umbilical to pubis),
one horizontal (bikini). I have constant pulling along
these incisional lines. However it is wave like, across
one side, across the other, vertically, under the leg
and some times radiates down to my knee. (A good word
might be gut wrenching). I think it is related to
the movement of the intestine and the incisions are the areas most
most strongly adhered to the bowel and bladder. I am at the
point where I am more comfortable stooped over when sitting.
I am also constantly nauseous.
The bladder also feels as if it is being pulled on the
left side where the adhesions are the most dense.
Unfortunately in the lower pubic area, the pulling is the
most noxious since some pubic nerves must be getting
yanked on. Is anyone else getting severe pulling
particularly along the incisions?
I also wake up everyday with a severe stomach ache,
that is much better when the bowel is empty.
I know I have severe adhesions, have been also told
about the possibility of occult inguinal hernias, and
spastic bowel syndrome.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. My best wishes
to everyone out there, and a special thanks to Dr. Wiseman.
