recurring adhesions on intestines and hernia Posted: 01-30-08 10:53am
I am currently 37 years old. For the past
10 years I have been struggling with
recurring adhesions on my intestines
(mostly my sigmoid colon) and recurring
hernia (although I do not do a lot of
heavy lifting or straining). It was
recently discovered that I now also have
tumors on my liver. These tumors are
thought to be benign hemangioma (MRI). I
have not suffered any abdominal trauma and
the adhesions were discovered during a
laparoscopy in 2000 BEFORE I had ever had
any other surgeries (so not post-operative
adhesions).
My primary symptoms are abdominal
pain/discomfort (usually lower left
quadrant), pain in my left hip area, and
scrotal tightness (especially right before
and right after a bowel movement). It is
difficult to sit for a prolonged period as
well as stand for a prolonged period
without a great deal of pain/discomfort.
My only semi-relief comes when I am laying
flat on my back. Laying on my left side
is pretty much impossible.
Any insight or suggestions would be much
appreciated.
