@debrap57 I am plagued with Abdominal adhesions as well. They cause pain, nausea, anorexia, migraines and fear of food and activity. I go to a Pelvic physical therapist twice a week who manually loosens them up. I also found that if I use acupressure tools, anything that I can get my hands on I can locate the tightest areas and work them loose. I’ve learned where the worst spots are because they are the most painful when I hit them with my hands or a tool, but the most important thing is Pelvic PT I’m also researching Abdominal Pain BlocK under ultrasound. It’s difficult to find a doctor and I’ve run all over the place trying to find one who treats. ACNES. But in your case, it sounds like you need some serious fascia release. Your primary care doctor or Rheumatologist should be able to write you this prescription. It’s worth the drive to get to a Pelvic PT.
My visits are going to end soon, but I have faith in my box of tools. The skin on my belly has all kinds of marks on it from working on myself, but I do not care only my PT cringes at new ones. It is an uncomfortable experience to be worked on, but between the physical manipulation of opening up the scar tissue and diaphragmatic breathing should give you some relief. Also get yourself hydrophilic pads to put on your belly. I keep them soaking in a bowl of water. The water must be changed daily then I put them in a white Amazon poly bag and microwave them wrap them in towel and place on my belly and my cervical area. It’s good to warm them up, especially if you’re going to work on them yourself that’s what the PT does as well. I’d like to add that after one of my surgeries I was spent over at 90° and couldn’t stand up. I’ve come a long way and adhesions are still the bane of my existence. I’ve had multiple blockages and one adhesion clean out after a blockage, but the most important thing is to get those adhesions to relax and let go wishing you the very, very best. I understand you’re suffering please don’t give up.

@resilience this all makes sense. I did try PT but found 2 days later the adhesions were worse. It was as if my torso had locked up . I'm trying another facility that claims they are specifically certified in adhesion release. We'll see. They don't accept insurance so I'll be paying out of pocket. Not sure how long I can afford to do it, but I have to try
