Hi AnneMarie! This is Kris in Minnesota. It's been awhile since I've
posted. I had a laparoscopy on the 4th of March to remove adhesions whicj
were wrapped around all of my intestines and around my gall bladder area.
During that surgery, a large, right sided ovarian cyst was discovered and
removed. It was determined that my ovary needed to be removed, but they
couldn't do it during that surgery because they didn't have my
signed consent. I had minimal pain for about 12 days after that surgery. The
"old pain" quickly returned. Its alwasy under my right ribcage. I
had surgery again on the 14th of May to have my ovary out. My gallbladder
was also removed because this pain is like gallbladder pain. There were
adhesions back around my gallbladder area and around my ovary, which were
removed. Again, I had about 10 days without the old pain and now it's
back as bad or worse than ever. There is a remote possibility that it could
be
related to a pancreatic duct disorder. All other tests don't indicate
that, but I'll be contacting my GI doc to schedule it. It's called
an ERCP. If that shows normal, it's the adhesions, as I believe it to
be. I've not heard of the nerve or damage to it that you referred to,
but I'm certainly going to ask about it. Like you, especially sitting
for very long puts me in excrutiating pain. I've been going to a very
good pain management dr. I asked about an implantable medication delivery
device they have there and if I could be a candidate if this last surgery
wasn't successful. He said that I am. I will be discussing it on my next
visit. I'll also be asking about the nerve you referenced. Thank you for
sharing your story. I hope the pain consultant you see offers you relief.
Take care!
