Dear Annie
Although it may seem like a waste of time and money to have tests done
that will not show adhesions, it may show something else. Something
other than adhesions may be causing the pain, or adding to the adhesion
pain. I have had every type of test & scan that there is, of course,
they have all been normal, thank God. But, if there had been something,
they would have caught it early. Of course, there was the scan that
showed my appendix was enlarged, but, I had that removed in 1987 when I
had my last c-section & tuble ligation. Also, not having the test might
be telling the DR that you aren't willing to help find out what is
causing your pain, even though you know it is adhesions, & then the Dr
might not take you seriously & give up trying to help you. Even now,
when a Dr wants to do a test, I am willing, if only to show what is NOT
wrong with me. I hope this helps somehow.
