Abdominal pain--HELP
Had RNY on June 5, 2012. Had some hernias repaired at the same time. Everything was going great until This past Friday night. I woke with my abdomen being sore to the touch or movement. The most sore area is directly under the sternum to my belly button. I went to ER on Sunday morning. They said all blood work was perfect. Checked liver and pancreas function they were also perfect. Said no gallstones. Did two x-rays and said nothing was abnormal. So, why am I hurting so darn much? I get a little relief when laying flat, but I am still sore to the touch, Not nauseous and don't have diaharrea. It doesn't get worse with eating or drinking. It is a constant pain and tenderness. If I sneeze-it brings tears to my eyes.
Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated!

It may be adhesions. They don't show up on any x-rays, scans, etc... The only way to get relief is to have them removed. I have had several. They feel like your insides are being torn if you move a certain way.
