Hello,
Sorry to hear of all your medical conditions. Adhesions can form after G.i. Track surgery. Have you seen a gastroenterologist, besides your surgeon.does the surgeon want to remove the adhesions, which is scar tissue. Is it possible to hold off on thyroid surgery until your wrist heals..?
You have a lot going on right now.
You did not mention your age, but guessing over 65???

I’ve taken a few too many tumbles myself, so I understand the need to be super careful.
I would start with your general surgeon, and also see if latest surgery can wait. I’m sure you are getting X-rays of your wrist, and will need physical therapy.
Keep us posted.
Take care,
Funcountess

Since Giant Cell Arteritis has taken Center STAGE...
My GP is not following my Adhesion problem and Fortunately...SO FAR my adhesions are allowing me to have Bowel Movements (prayers Welcome)....
I had a Biopsy test for Giant Cell Arteritis BUT here in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada it takes a Month to get Results again (Prayers Welcome)
