Hi Helen:
Are you the "Helen from Chicago" that used to post when the forum
started?
My doctors have told me that certain conditions can cause adhesions that
you might not be aware of. A flare up of appendicitis that calmed
itself down, that type of thing. My surgeon mentioned
adenitis-sometimes little children get bouts of this and it resembles
appendicitis. All these things can cause internal inflammation which
can cause adhesions.
