Jane,
Unfortunately, any tests you have concerning
the abdomin area such as ct scans and so forth
are going to come out negative. Reason being is
that adhesions do not show on any test except for
having a colonoscopy by your gi doctor. I know that
from personal experience. I was just hospitalized
again over the holidays. I was diagnosed with Peritonitis.
At first, I didn't know what it was, except I knew
it wasn't good. My mother who was a nurse for 35
yrs explained it to me and to me that she knew some
patients that have litterally died from it. I was
also diagnosed with diabetes which my mother and
Uncle have. Then I was released from the hospital
and been back to work since. I had to get permission
from my primary care. I had asked her when I had my
colonoscopy, it was so painful that I ended up
screaming in the recovery room. She explained to
me that I have adhesions around my colon. It
showed up on the colonoscopy. I don't know how,
but it did. Now my new primary knows there are
adhesions again on my colon. You may want to have a
colonoscopy done to see if there are adhesions on
your colon. I hope this information will help you.
