I have suffered from lower abdominal pain for years.
I have gone thru several colonoscopies and
endoscopies, but no results were shown to cause my
pain. I finally decided to discuss my chronic pain
with my internist and when I told him of my stomach
operation, gallbladder, appendix and finally a tummy
tuck, he began to nod. Indeed the tummy tuck could
be the cause of my pain all these years. The damaged
nerves were being covered by a healing process, this
in turn was causing my chronic pain to my lower
pelvic area. Now I need to discover what I can do to
relieve the pain. |

Background info: I'm 23 years old female. I injured my back
about 7 or 8 years ago, I got whiplash from a bucking horse.
They think I tore muscles and ligaments in my lower back,
nothing was broken for the X-rays. I did physical therapy
(PT) for it for about 6 months. About 3 weeks ago I found
out that my left leg is about 3 cm longer than my right and
could be causing some of my back pain. Oh and I have consent
lower back pain. About 1 year ago in March I was diagnosed
with lateral tracking of the patella on my right knee. I did
6 months of PT for it and I'm back in PT for it and have
been doing it for a month and half. I got an MRI and it was
clean, nothing torn or broken. The surgeon says I definitely
have knee pain but the cause of it is unknown and surgery
right now is not a option. I can't run, go up or down stairs
with out pain, sitting or standing for a long time hurts,
driving hurts sometimes, I cant put all or some of my weight
on it. I get a burning pain in the inside of knee, it makes
a popping feeling, and on the top outer ledge of it. I'm
going to go see an orthopedic spine surgeon this week, but
this would be doctor number 4 that I have seen for my knee.
I really just want to run again and have someone tell me
that they know why I'm in so much pain. I can deal with the
back pain b/c that never stopped me from running, riding, or
got in the way of my life but my knee has. So if anyone can
give me clues or help me out with this I would greatly
appreciate it. If anyone knows of a Dr. House for knees
please let me know!
