Denise, About the inflamation in and around my liver, I had that before they
ever removed my gallbladder. I can clearly see how removing it would put a
much bigger work load on the liver. I too have had this knot about the size
of a golfball where my liver is and it swells and it feels like my area
there is just going to explode .It feels as though someone has fillrd a
balloon full of water too tightly and it is very painful!!! I am sorry for
all of your pain. I think all that a doctor thinks of a patient when they
have a history of adhesions internally is "Well I didn't cause the problem,
this pt. . has chronic problems and I don't want to deal with it!" Most docs
just want these patients to go away. They immediately give you the
old"Nothing can be done surgically unless you have a serious obstruction,
Surgery just make more and maybe even worse adhesions." They offer nothing
for pain as they say they would never want for you to get hooked on pain
medication and send you home in tears. You feel so hopeless and sick on top
of all of that. . That is just plain cruel! It was trusting doctors that got
us into much of these adhesion problems, but after they have done the surgery
that they have recomended half the time on you for something that you didn't
really ever need to begin with in an attempt to so call fix the problem that
is giving you all the pain, they have just created another set of problems to
suffer through. It's a vicious cycle. They should have more doctors out there
who are specially trained to treat pelvic and abdominal adhesions. It appears
to be a great need for them. Thanks for letting me vent. . It is just so
dishearting for people to have to spend all this money that many people
cannot afford, have a million unecssary test time after time and still
recieve no answers and no help . I am just really tired and sick this evening
as we all are. I am usually the one people come to for encouragement and
hope. I will pray for all of us to find the strength and courage to face
tommorow. Fell better soon.------------BEV
