I have had 3 surgeries in the past 3 1/2 years. The first was a
colectomy which was followed 2 1/2 years later by my first bowel
obstruction (from adhesions) surgery and am now recovering from my
second obstruction surgery. My surgeon both times has said that I had
extensive adhesion formation. My question is this, are there any
physical activities that my speed up the formation of adhesions? I ride
a horse on a routine basis that is comparable to riding a jack hammer.
He has very big rough gaits and it is a tough torso workout to ride him.
I frequently have abdominal pain after riding. Am I making things worse
faster?
