Help!!! I'm at my wits end. I have been having right side pelvic and abdominal paim since Sept. of 2004. I have had all kinds of CAT Scans, Ultrasound, Nuclear Med studies done and no one knows what causing it. I believe it to be adhesions, this believe comes from history. But not one of the three specialists I am seeing is saying that at this point. Let me give you a little of my medical history.

I have had Three c-sections. A hysterectomy sue to fibroids and severe edometriosis. My left ovary was removed at that time since it had adhered to my uterus. After the surgery I developed an abdominal abcess which involved the bladder. In July 2003 I had a gastric by-pass done and developed a bad infection from a suture leak. I sent home with a feeding tube and two drains. In November of 2004 I had a hernia repair job done, I was tolod, by the surgeon, that it was a hard repair to do because of scar tissue. At this time my stomach is deformed because of this.

In September(2004) I began experiencing severe pain in my lower right quadrant. On a scale of 1 to 10 this pain is registering a 12. I am now getting pain in the upper part of right side. This pain is at the level of the hernia repair, right below my ribs. I have been seeing a GI guy and a surgeon (not the one that did the by-pass), my GI has me on Nulev(hyoscyamine), which relieves the pain somewhat.

Can someone tell what I can do or who I should see for a diagnosis. I believe it's adhesions, but I'm no doctor. I just wanted some relief.
