Subject: do adhesions get worse?
Hi. Been away from the board for awhile but would
like to be added bac in. Have recently developed some
new issues and need some input. As had posted
previously awhile back, developed some shortness of
breath, about three mos. after appendectomy. Just saw
another gyno today for large fibroid and he told me
that he thinks my adhesions are up inbetween my liver
and diaphragm. I also feel them in mid and left
section under rib cage and under my bellybutton. Been
told they are in my groin, behind my uterus,by rectum,
in pelvic side wall, and on small intestine. Have
been to multiple pulmonologists, and cardiologists f
shortness of breath. Most tests normal except that i
do have 3 valves regurgitating blood, but dr's say not
enough cause symptoms. I assume adhesions on the
diaphragm causing shortness of breath. My question:
As time passes will adhesions get worse and cause
structural damage to heart and lungs? My lungs and
heart are relatively healthy, but with time and
straining to breath could damage be done, especially
considering valve leakage. Dr Gyno says I just have to
live with it. that if he does surgery more adhesions
will form and could be worse. My benefits run out in
6 weeks and I'm trying to make decision. Yrs ago I had
same shortness of breath when I had no adhesions, so
there's still a shadow of doubt that the sob is not
adhesions, and could be heart and lungs. sorry for
long e mail. Thanks for reading. Any input at all
appreciated. Debbie
