Tummy pain is triggering my Dysreflexia ...its my INCISIONAL hernia thingee :-(

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I forgot that a few years back, that I discovered that when my stomach

hurt/ached, what it was really hurting when you touched or pushed on it, was my

old

surgical scar. I only knew this last year when in frustration, I grabbed a

stretchy handful and found that the pain was actually a lump in my old scar

area.

So, I did that today and found that the pain and burning pain is more from

the INCISIONAL area. My catscan of 12/29/03 said I have an INCISIONAL hernia

that was forgotten about when they found the rectal duplication. They also said

there was a loop of intestine in it. But at that time I was not blocked]. They

said wait until it bothered me. I said I would not feel it. Perhaps since I do

feel the stomach pain I am able to sense the hernia ... or all of the above.

Or now it is blocked from my messed up diet.

So, Oh Oh! My INCISIONAL scar in my abdomen or my surgical clips. Either way

maybe ulcer symptom on top of that is the cause. I do not know how my guts are

connected to what. I do not want to panic. I took the Prilosec at 8 AM. I do

need to eat. But on the issue of any pain triggering my Dysreflexia ... gee

whiz. It is written in the list of symptoms.

I know it is the noxious trigger because I got BP of 293/200+ doing nothing.

Just laying there with my abdomen navel area aching. I thought that I felt

this pain it would not affect my Dysreflexia ... I was wrong.

So, it is bland food time and extra BP meds time. Oh, I am glad my

appointment is tomorrow. Then I can self-destruct. Caro.
