Surgical adhesions

PX recently (3 weeks ago) had abdominal surgery to remove a benign tumor in
inquinal area. Tumor was encapsulated and removed intact. Incision healed
without incident until last week when a red, very sensitive area of the
incision began to swell. Area was so painful Px would shout out when the incision
was touched. Radiograph revealed adhesions though I suspected a possible
strangulated hernia. No evidence of such. Used Staph but I'm not seeing this
resolve. I'm not finding any reference to surgical adhersions in the
literature. Any suggestions?

The diagnosis does not tell about the patients' experience of their symptoms. These need to be understood - and then repertorised - ie pain sensation, the inflammation, and so on. This might actually be a wound infection, despite the radiography.
Remedies such as Bellis perennis, or Thiosinaminum can be used for adhesions, but check the symptoms and then individualise.

Dr. CLBernat,

I'm somewhat hesitant to reply... (biting lip), but I've seen situations
like this with boy with staph infection that literally perforated into colon
wall, which with Staph remedy cleared up only to experience severe adhesions
that came into play when boy tried to go to the bathroom... It pulled
extremely bad and was excruciatingly painful.

Thios cleared it up quickly and completely- (2 weeks?) with no
reoccurrence. This was with "newly laid down" scar tissue / adhesions. Older
scar tissue may take longer to clear.

Hope this is helpful.

Health, Hope, Joy & Healing :
May you Prosper, even as your Soul Prospers 3John 2

Perhaps if the area is sensitive to touch with inflammation you may want to
take a look at Hepar Sulph

Thanks to all for the input. There seems to be no indication of infection
(as per attending surgeon) no fever, no elevated white cell count, no
discharge from the incision. This Px has responded well to Lyc as constitutional
over the past year. The swelling at the incision site appears to be an adhesion
albeit extremely painful. He allowed me to gently palpate the area though
he gritted his teeth and finally did cry out. Good natured fellow. I shall
look at Thios. Thanks to you all I learn something new every day.
