Michelle: i keep asking people if you can get adhesions on your lungs
and in your thoracic cavity! I have been short of breath for the past
few mos and the drs dont seem to find much but mild obstruction on any
tests altho most recently one did find some inflamation. I was thinking
that perhaps it was from the abdominal adhesions attaching from my ab to
my lungs/ diaphragm and somehow making me irritatated (i pray not). Can
that happen? I believe if it's scarring of the lung they call it
fibrosis. But fibrosis shows on an x ray. If it's adhesions it
wouldnt. I dont want to give you any false answers, but i now ther's a
copd site you can go to for answers. I will mail it to your private
address. I'm still seeking answers on whther or not adhesions from
infection/water/inflamation in the abdomen can travel up into the lung
and thoracic cavity. Also can fluid from your ab get into the area of
your lungs? My right lung above te sight of the surgery feels "bound
down". If anyone knows can they please mail me? Sorry to jump in on
your e mail michelle. will mail you that site. lee
