Default Hi Lori,

My stomach swells like I'm pregnant. they just went in and looked around and found nothing. I am on Metformin and Amitiza for this. I have had a lot of surgeries also that's why they looked around, to see if I had tumors or scar tissue. I can't be on my feet for long due to my stomach swelling and I was also diagnosed with RSD in my right side. That keeps me from standing too long.

I just had surgery where they cut a nerve which he felt scar tissue was causing problems with as well as it being damaged from my last surgery I had about 5 years ago. He cut the nerve, a ligament and took out adhesions. I do have Intersital Cystitis{a bladder disease}. It took us about 7 years to get that pain under control.

Since you have had surgeries, scar tissue might be a possibility. You might see someone about that. I saw two Gastros and 3 gynocolologist and a pelvic pain Dr. before my PCP and a new surgeon in town helped me figure out what needed to be done this time.

I have better care from my PCP then I ever got from the PM and Neurologist I've seen. What he didn't know, he learned. I am glad the PCP is helping you in this way. It's just finding that right Dr., it's time consuming for sure.

Feel better soon.
Ada
