Adhesions and Scar tissue
I'm sorry, I wish I could help. I've never had those issues at all. I know they happen, but aren't common. Try searching older posts, and I'm sure you'll see discussions about it.
Have you seen multiple doctors over the years? An opinion from another doctor might help.

Has anyone had or is suffering from Adhesions and or scar tissue? 23 years post op, I have had multiple stomach surgeries and I suffer from adhesions and scar tissue bad enough to go to the ER.
Suggestions please.

Hi. I also have a lot of scar tissue from my initial surgery...leading to a medically emergent revision, (which of course led to more scar tissue), surgery to treat complications from the adhesions and my GI tract spasms led to medication from GI. My surgeon suggested deep massage to help "break up" some adhesions but sometimes medical assistance is necessary because it can cause obstructions and even tissue death in the GI tract. Try to avoid surgery if you are prone to scarring but sometimes you just have to find a good treatment team and keep researching. Sorry I am not much help. Do you have a GI or general surgeon "team". What sort of follow up from E.R visits have you had?
Yes I do!! Had to have my bowel pinned in 2007 and now if I stay in a fetal position too long, like sick in bed for any length of time I will adhere myself (inside) to other organs. After the surgery to repair my bowel I had to go back to surgery to separate scar tissue and adhesions between liver and abdominal wall. They are painful and hard to make doctors understand or believe.
