sorry therapy Girl, i didn't want to hijack your thread anymore. i thought i was being rude but you brought up such a good topic...though hard topic for me that i feel i still need to talk about it.
i've been doing some surfing and the only site i could find on abdominal adhesions, i liked the site only because of the nice picture and some little info (very little) but i liked the picture because it makes me think of what might have been going on inside me.
http://www.clearpassage.com/bowel-adhesions.phpok, to be open and what was going on with me in relation to this is
i was having severe (gradually got worse to the point of doubling over) abdominal pain when i was 19...yes long time ago. and no one could figure out what it was so my then GP did the best thing in the world and set me up with my (still current) OB thinking it was some 'girl issue'. She wasn't sure what was going on so she wanted to do an exploratory. when my OB did my laporoscopy she found a ton of scar tissue all over inside, from way up under my armpit down to my pelvis. this was not inside my uterus. it was outside the organs. i don't know anymore information than that. as at the time all i know is the pain stopped. and also had no memory of the CSA at that time, however i had JUST recently gotten out of a three year verbally and physically abusive relationship. (which is why i was thinking the physical abuse could have done this)i did have appendicitis when i was 14. but from what i read about that kind of adhesion it makes it sound like those are usually created and felt fairly soon after the operation. this would have been five years later? but it's possible.
so who knows, but that's what my OB origanlly told me, although not with 100% confidance. if i could record her lack of confidence as she says it.she openly said she wasn't sure what caused all of it but that it 'more than likely caused by the appendectomy.' its the tone of her voice and the way its said that leaves more questions to this. almost like it's a "leave it alone" kinda response..but h@ll i know everything now right. but then again..it was SO long ago and when i just called yesterday they don't even have that chart anymore so she couldn't read me what it said about the surgery. that left me with more anxiety. i was hoping to hear.but TG's post brought up the thought that it could have been something other than the appendectomy. and given the fact that i've never been talked to post-operatively about it... what really caused the adhesions. (since it was 19 and didn't really care..i was only worried that the pain would go away)
thanks for listening
sorry so long
:(

i had an appendectomy, which is on my right side. (and no i didn't remember i had to check where my scar was, lol)
but all the adhesions were found on the left side and some mixed in the middle...
