Hi-I also have had right side pain since '99 when I had my son c-sec.
All the dr's I went to thought it was my gall bladdar. I had a
laparascopy
in '02, but the scar tissue was so dense they couldn't get the scope to
far in to check it out. SO... more pain-more ultrasounds..normal
tests..
my dr said the next surgery we would do if I was still in pain was a
laparotomy because the scar tissue was so dense-anyway I had that
surgery
Feb '03-tons of scar tissue everywhere including all around my liver &
gallbladdar & a severe case of endo. So I feel your pain &
understand-I've
had to swith dr's since & this guy doesn't believe scar tissue causes
pain!!
