I to have been passed off to so many drs that I could
not tell you haw many I have seen. After 17 operations
I am now doing what thay are calling adominal wall
therpy instead of getting trigger point injections
every other day I am now getting them once a week.
I am reacently experiancing very bad bloating and
swelling in my adoninal area from just under my ribs
all the way down. On the 26 of Sept I had to have
rotater cuff repair and it could not be done orthoscopic
it is now 8 weeks later and I have a frozen sholder.
I am going to be put to sleep to manipulate it. The
dr said quote ( I am going to try to break the adheasions
away ) The orthopedic dr said that it is the body tissue
make up of some people tthat the adheasions form. This
is not a normal condidition. It is a deasease
that few people get this severe. Any way the injections
I get are trigger poing into the pelvic mucles on both
sides 3 of them and several on the outside. This numbs
the area so that they can do deep tissue massauge to try
and break away the adheasions. I have also tried again to
get sosial scurity disabilty. This time I got a lawyer to
help with the process. I have one of the cases they have
ever seen.
I am sure that you all have been told the same. and
I beleave that when they do not know what to do they
pass you on to some one elst. It is like a bad work.
When I get unconfortable like I am now with this
bloating I do not know if it is an adheasion problem
side affect or something else. It could be the steriod
injections into my belly. But now I am afraid to go to
the dr. I do not want to be told theres nothing wron it
is just gas . It could very well be but if it is it is
not moving down very fast. I have noticed that I do not
want to eat very much now because it get much worse when
I eat. I have yet to tell the dr this but I will when I
go on Monday I just wanted to know if any one else felt
like this.
