Are you saying the surgeon didn't remove the adhesions from the liver?
My daughter had upper body pain, along with the lower pain
and the surgeon found her liver adhered to the ribcage. It took over
30 minutes to remove them one by one. She no longer has pain in that area.
Why did your surgeon not remove them?

I have finally hit the stage of being absolutely frightened! I just had
scope surgery to remove adhesions (for the 5th time) in August 2002. As
of December 11, 2002, the exact same pain returned! I made an
appointment with the surgeon for the end of January 2003, to see what we
can do.

In the past, I have been able to go a few years in between sugeries but
this time I only went a couple of months with relief.
My adhesions started out just obstructing my bowels and now they
continue to that along with plastering my liver to my body wall. I
think that hurts just as bad as the obstruction. With my liver in that
condition, I can't move in any direction without pain. Sometimes I even
see stars!
I'm already on Effexor for the depression and am scared of going on pain
medication.
If anyone has any thoughts - please share!
Thanks
