Re: Adhesions After Gall Bladder Surgery, Aggravated By Stress

I have both severe post surgical adhesions (can consume no solid food at
all due to strictures) and chronic pancreatitis secondary to my
gallbladder surgery complications.
My adhesion pain is constant, and consistant, unless I exert myself,
then it worsens. The pain from my pancreatitis, however, varies.
Chronic pancreatitis does not show bloodwork abnormalities until it
reaches a fairly advanced stage. Indeed, its quite difficult to
diagnose, without some fairly elaborate testing (such as an EUS, or an
ERCP)

You may also wish to seek a second opinion, esp, if you had your last
work up seven years ago. Imaging options have improved considerably
since then.
Just a thought!
