Glad you are able to get services from the VA. Thank you for your service.
First I have heard that radiation therapy can cause partial small bowel obstructions. What is the theory behind this? Is it scar tissue caused by radiation?

The doctors think I got hurt from working on the airfreight loading dock some how. The scar tissue grew on it's own without me knowing that it was there. In 2002 I started having severe abdominal pain and was rushed to the hospital. They performed emergency surgery. And with any surgery, there's more scar tissue. So it's vicious circle.
