Muscle Adhesions

Steven asks…

I am taking Bentyl…Is it ok to take the muscle relaxer, Soma, with Bentyl?

I currently take Bentyl for stomach adhesion pain. I will be having surgery in about two weeks. I was wondering if its ok if I take the muscle relaxer, Soma, with the Bentyl…I’ll probably ask the pharmasist, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any good answers.

Chris Station answers:

I take bentyl as well, but i take 80 mgs a day. Taking that many makes me infunctionable period. I think you should be ok, but do definatly call a pharmacist. I wish i could be more help

Chris Station answers:

I’m not sure if my chiro. Used the exact technique, but she used to apply direct pressure to certain trigger points and though it was a bit painful, I did gain more movement and freedom from tight muscles and pain.

David asks…

Anyone know about intestinal adhesions – serious ones – the form after multiple abdominal surgery?

I have had several abdominal surgeries and the last one it took the surgeon 2 hours to just get past these adhesions…bands of scar tissue. (I have needed the surgeries – but it is complicated – and I moved countries so even seeing the same Dr is a feat equivalent to climbing Mt Everest with a blind Sherpa on a 3 legged donkey).
Some may know I have had other more pressing issues lately, but I get a pain – right of my (what used to be my sternum)…and trust me – I have had kids including twins so I KNOW what heartburn is – and this is NOT heartburn. I have had several ECGs – all normal. I had a panic attack so bad they did an angiogram on me – which is kinda funny now – but my heart and arteries were fine. (I am 40-ish, a little round probably in the “right places” – ha ha ….but nowhere near the blob I used to be). But I get this pain. It is excruciating …it is like a cramp – the muscle can be seen as a huge knot and I just bend over or twist and writhe trying to make it go away. It truly feels like there is no blood getting to this area.
BUT…if I eat something – even a piece of plain bread, it goes away. I have told Drs this and they say “Oh – peptic ulcer. Classic. ” But I have been scoped and I have NO ulcer. And no one has an answer. And cos it lasts less than say 20 minutes cos I try and eat ANYTHING bland to make it go away…..it doesn’t persist long enough to get to an ER or Drs to be “witnessed”.
I wonder….could it be an adhesion band that periodically strangles part of my intestine or stomach – or SOMETHING? I am scared one day it won’t “go away” and I will have a necrotising piece of whatever dying in my gullet.

Chris Station answers:

Adhesions are interesting. Adhesions are the bodies natural response to trauma. They are common with abdominal surgery but can happen other times the abdomen is manipulated. Basically the body is trying to fix itself and the walls of the intestines/colon get sticky and stick together.
