Adhesions, scar tissue massage?

Hi CuppaTea

I was convinced my mum had adhesions ( if you click on my user name you can see her surgical history ).

She did not end up in hospital with obstructions but was definitely in pain on/off for a few years and really had to watch how she ate her food especially out for a meal . She could not twist to speak up or down a table . I know that sounds odd but it really affected her .

She would go on a soft diet for a few days and sat with warm hot water bottles and it got her over the problem .

However for some unknown reason it all stopped a few years after her surgery . Everything seemed to settle and no further problems experienced. 
Our helpline would have more appropriate and up to date information as I think it’s a problem across primary cancers . 0808 808 0000.

Take care ,

I had 6 episodes of intestinal obstruction after my surgery, 3 of which sent me to hospital, and one op to divide the adhesion. Now I have minced food. We have a food processor and everything goes in it. For dessert I have baby food, Ella’s Kitchen. I know I am getting the vitamins with no additives. It is difficult eating out, but I have fish. Many restaurants will blitz the veg for me. If not I have fish and chips! It is a restrictive regimen, but brings peace of mind. 

Hi Cupppatee,

My husband is having similar problems after adhesions found him back in hospital after 3 months. He is back in there again while they sort out a solution. He has a partial obstruction due to adhesions, but the consultant is very loathe to operate. He has been told he is a complicated case!!! I think they will send him home on Drip food, to avoid the blockages. At home he found a hot water bottle helped the pain. In hospital he was given Tramadol. We've struggled with food for 4 months, but he did gain weight, slowly. Is your weight OK? otherwise you need to get help.  xxxxx
