I am catching up with these posts; I think there have been multiple threads discussing SBOs, and what to do about them. I have gone to a pelvic floor specialist, who has suggested other PTs, since she did not feel that she could be helpful. I will look into her recommendations... Through a chain of recommendations, it has been suggested that I consider consulting a surgeon for lysis of adhesions, which, as you can imagine, scares me. Meanwhile, I watch what I eat all the time... I have occasional "pre obstruction warning pains" when I know I may be headed for trouble and immediately stop eating solids. This is not fun, but I am not sure what else to do. ... I wish all my fellow sufferers good luck and I will let you know if I find abdominal massage successful... if I can find the right person to do it.
