Mesenteric Panniculitis or Sclerosing Mesenteritis

Yes, there are a couple of theories. One is abdominal surgeries (I have had a few!), severe back trauma (2 weeks before I presented with symptoms, I had a horrific fall on black ice!), or in some people there is an underlying condition (such as lymphoma). Mine is a direct result of the fall. I have had my markers checked and do not (thankfully!) have lymphoma. I'm not sure if there are any other connections with this disease.

Kim, the similarities between our cases is glaring. In my own research, I'd come to the conclusion that my MP comes from abdominal surgeries. In my lifetime, I've had 2 C-sections, hystectomy, oopherectomy, gall bladder, EVAR (after a AAA), and 3 hematoma evacuations. The last 4 of which were just last year. Though no doctor bothered to make the correlation, I did. I am big on blame. But, after reading your comments, I have to wonder about my back's role in this. January of 2017, I had emergency surgery on my back because I had developed Cause Equina Syndrome, also rare. Apparently, I like to get the rarest problems. Although, with MP, I just look like an overachiever. 🙂 I'm interested to hear more about your back, when and if you don't mind, hon.

Not an auto imune disease?
