Abdominal adhesion, symptoms, and therapy or surgery?

I've been trying to find out more about nonsurgical, but there isn't much online. It sounds like adhesions are fairly common from abdominal surgery. I'm not sure that what I am experiencing is adhesions. I saw a gastroenterologist who thinks my symptoms are due to microscopic colitis. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy to verify that, but the imaging is booked out to mid Aug. In the meantime I have to deal with it the best I can. But I still think that some of what I'm experiencing is due to adhesion. There is self massage, and I try that with a bit of relief.
Is your only option for massage that far of a drive? Does an pain med help? Does the medical marijuana help?

medical marijuana - no; says he feels a buzz plus the pain
pain meds - takes Tramadol daily, typically 3-4 a day, although today it's 5:38 pm and he's on #5.
message - could look around here (Charleston WV) but need someone focused on fascia instead of muscles
tried acupuncture once
What is particularly pernicious about adhesions is that they don't show up on x-rays; and the medical community only seems concerned about adhesions causing blockage, which can be fatal. But chronic pain from adhesions can be very debilitating. Good luck.
