Reply to "Abdominal pain need advise now!!!"

Well I went back to the ER on Friday and after a CT was admitted with a partial obstrucion. I have an NG tube to relieve pressure in the bowel and NPO. I feel better. Today I had a small bowel follow through x-ray with barium. It shows a small obstruction in an area close to my stoma and constriction in several places in that area. There is still pain. The internal medicine guy gave us a good explanation and says I may need surgery because the strictures will not go away. He will meet with the surgeon and come up with a plan and get back to us. I dread surgery and had horrible abcesses after two of my 4 past surgeries. I am sure some decision will be made soon. He says adhesions are the cause of the problems. I will post when I know more and any words of wisdom will be appreciated.

Right now I am just doing lots of praying for wisdom and strength to deal with whatever and for wisdom for the doctors.
