Scar tissue surrounding organs

Posted by Rssanders @rssanders, Jan 21, 2012

My sister had major abdominal surgery years ago and now has symptoms of vomiting and cramping. She has been told she has massive amounts of scar tissue that is crowding and strangling Her organs. Has anyone hearda of this or gone through surgery for this?n

by "scar tissue" they probably are referring to adhesions - which are the closest resemblance to "scar tissue" These are bands of fibrous tissue that fries in response to injury or inflammation. This may cause obstruction of the bowel, with the vomiting and cramping that you describe.

I had a Gallbladder removal surgery 3 years ago. I have noticed this throbbing pain underneath my right ribcage. It even hurts when I stretch. I went and had an endoscopy, and an MRI, neither one showed anything. I felt hopeless. I literally would have to press on the pain with my finger to get relief, it is ongoing, especially when I sit down.

My doctor told me today that he thinks its adhesions that have bound themselves around other organs that's creating the discomfort and pain. He said it's probably from my gallbladder operation. This gives me some hope to getting better. He said, I need to contact a general surgeon. I was just wondering if this is a complicated process.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Jeff
