Christy,
How can they determine if the adhesions are around the kidneys? Are you having trouble or pain with urination? I suffer from extreme lower back pain from the waist area down. It's so bad that I can barely sit, and when I do, it takes me forever to get up because the pain is so excruciating. The docs say they see nothing wrong with my back, yet I can barely move. Muscle relaxers and pain meds do nothing. I'm just curious what type of doc diagnosed that. Thanks.
