I went to a general surgeon and he decided to do the surgery robotically, he had never done the surgery before. He released the ligament and did the ganglionechtomy. I truly believe there is still an issue with my celiac artery being compressed however, living in a smaller city the surgeons here don't want to step on each other's toes and make one another feel bad by second guesssing someone's work and getting someone to go back in to look at it again is becoming a challenge. I have been in and out of the ER numerous times for the pain, including last night. It is to the point where even fentenyl isn't working for the constant pain. I am desperate for someone to help but I don't know where to turn. All of my labs always come back fine. No one has done a repeat Ct Angio or an ultrasound to see if the artery is still compressed. I worry about scar tissue being an issue as well considering that wouldn't show up on imaging. Would scar tissue cause pain? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
