tshelby... part of what I was wondering was whether adhesions can go past the diaphragm and into the chest cavity... But I guess Peggy said that she had trouble breathing with them attached to her diaphragm. Did I read that right?

Debbie, it has not been unheard of that adhesions have "walled off" a burst appendix and prevented peritonitis! But all it seems to take for them to form is a "foreign" substance (one scenario, at least)... blood, bacteria, cyst fluids, etc.... that don't belong roaming around the abdomen. I'm not sure of all the structures holding organs in place, but it's my thought that the abdomen is largely "open" to all the organs there. So, yes, adhesions can form wherever there has been a causative agent. Usually the process works great, but in some people this miracle of natural healing goes haywire.... :( wr
