Mutiple Surgeries in a close proximity of time.
Also to Drtowfigh: would it be possible for you and Dr. Poulose to converse about my case? I would very much like for you to talk to him and explain these possibilities and see what he says.

Mutiple Surgeries in a close proximity of time.
To Mom of 4, I’m very sorry that you are going through all this trouble. I feel its not my mesh in this case. If you’ll read below what I wrote to Drtowfigh it explains where my pain is. I actually, like you, do feel worse after having all my surgeries because, every time I try to be active my abdomen swells and hurts. Not just my stomach, but at all the surgery sites , where all the adheshions are from them and all my insides are painfull. The more I do , the more painfull and I have to stop. The only time I do not hurt is when I’m alsleep.
I also get the hot burning pains in my middle back on the right side all the time. The way I explain my pain to people is it feels like all my organs are not where they go and everything in there hurts and when I move its all scraping against raw skin. Walking is doable if I have my spanks on I will go walking and it makes it bearable. If I don’t wear my spanks, it hurts even worse. I can see that you have gone thru a lot of pain treatments and a lot of places and still not gotten any answers which doesn’t give me and encouragement. I hope Drtowfigh can direct me in the right direction and I hope you find your source of pain also. -
Mutiple Surgeries in a close proximity of time.
Yes, I agree Dr. Poulose was and is excellent. My pain like I stated is mainly in the area of the first surgeries. and in my back. I do not have cancer. The cancer was removed when the Gallbladder got removed and the Slice of the liver when they took the lymph nodes out of the liver along with the slice. I have had a CT every 6 months for the last year and a half. All have been clear of cancer. I will have another in December. However, intestinal adhesions could be a factor since my digestive system has not been regular since all these surgeries started. I have had a colonoscopy and it was clear also. What I mean by not regular is: I may have diarrhea 3-4 times in one day and not have a bowl movement for 3 days. I figured this to be normal since I practically cleaned myself out on the diarrhea day. I hurt very bad also if I eat too much , and it doesn’t take much to eat to much. I can see and feel the adhesions under my skin in and around the first surgery sites. They are very painful. Could you elaborate on what Multidimensional evaluation of all factors in my history means, and where would you suggest that I get that? Thank you

My abdominal wall had a hole in it due to the prior multiple surgeries. It has 2 Hernia’s hanging out of the hole and they were repaired and the abdominal wall was repaired with mesh and has done very well. I hurt mainly in the area of the first surgeries before the last. I’m always aware of the abdominal wall surgery, because you can just feel it all the time. Dr. Benjamin Polouse from Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville TN. did my reconstruction surgery and he is top in his field. Isn’t there any one out there that can give me some answers on how THEY feel on the inside after a similar situation. I’m told it takes up to 8 months for one surgery to heal. So that means a long time for me….. Need some answers please…..
