Is it possible to have adhesions after my spleen was removed in 1972? I have alot of pain in that area, Do you advise acupuncture to correct it? Why do you say pain meds are dangerous when there is a partial or possible obstruction? Noone can live with pain all the time. I have a suspious cat scan Nov.1 of this year , and then the Dr did a barium study and then it was ruled out, although I was told it can come back. What are your remedy for this or is there none but observation? I need some help pretty soon, I am 69 years old. Please advise. What about that camera they use to track the time it takes to go through the bowel?
