Ji Kim, thanks for your help in contacting the Doc for me, could you pass on my reply to her if you get the chance?
Hi Doc, thanks for the reply, you've described my symptoms to a T. I get the trapped wind, urge to empty bladder/bowels, neck pain, upper body pain, band-like feeling around the chest, mid and lower back pain and the abdominal pain is widespread too but is further complicated by abdominal adhesions from 2 major ops i had 25 years ago due to a motorcycle accident. A specialist has even offered to operate on me to remove the abdominal adhesions but offered no better than a 50/50 success rate so i declined. I'm really hoping this new treatment discussed recently about the endoscopic removal of arachnoiditis turns out to be successful and becomes available here, are you optomistic on this procedure?
