Sherry, I had excruciating pains and also dull throbbing pains in the upper right quadreant. I was sure I have Liver failure, as my brother died from that at age 41. then the pain was so intense I had to know WHAT it was, went to 2 drs. both said felt like a hernia, ...also I could "move" the pain with my palm.... had to drink stuff and have a MRI first....and nothing showed.. but the pain was getting unbearable , and I could lay on right side.. could not sit, could not lean forward at 45 /angle. could not put on my own shoes, always out of breath. just MISERABLE. once the surgeon was IN THERE, she said I was FULL of adhesions.. hmmm was told that 27 yrs ago!!! she was really into telling mehow thick and vicus(sp) the one on my liver.. she took a picture of it and I have it. you can see it it wrapped around the liver, connected to the right decending colon and diaphram, and all this stuck to omentum....she lasisk it, but it was back in 10 days, just over 1/4 inch! but I have pictures.. and a report with her saying she had to leave many in the bowels as they were covered, and she felt she was not qualified to that extensive surgury!

hope this helps.

and yes, I have good days, but I still have pain days.

blessings, SueR in Ohio
