Hello,
Ive been reading through the post and most if not
all think that the only way to check for adhesions
is a laporoscopy.Ive had a 3-D catscan which showed
a adhesion on my small bowel wall Last month.Last
nov.
I had a MRI with IV contrast on the L-5 virtabra
which showed a small adhesion which had formed 6
months after back surgery.I never had a laporoscopy
to diagnose adhesions.I dont know why drs. say
this.I had to fight my dr. for the script to get
the 3-D catscan b/c he had the same old thinking
no tests can conform adhesions except laporoscopy.
I eventualy had to bring in the radiology report
from the mri on my back to show him an adhesion
was detected and he had to speak to the radiologist
before he gave me the script for the 3-D.
Kind Regards,Tami
