> History: I am 30 years old and three years ago had both of my fallopian
> tubes removed due to excessive scar tissue in the tubes and my third
> ectopic pregnancy. They were removed with an incision similar to that of
> a C-Section (about 4" long at the lower abdomen). 5 months ago I had a
> cyst (I believe it was functional) the size of a tennis ball removed from
> my right ovary. It was removed by utilizing the same incision line as the
> previous surgery. The physician indicated that I did not have a lot of
> scar tissue from the first surgery. Since the removal of the cyst 5
> months ago the left potion of my abdominal area is protruding and
> sensitive to the touch, so much so at times it hurt to have clothing on.
> The area swells with any increased activity, if my bladder is full or I am
> menstruating the pressure is almost unbearable. I also experience
> pressure, to a lesser degree, when laying on my left side. My physician
> has prescribed Vioxx and is convinced it is scar tissue. The Vioxx does
> not appear to be helping.
>
> Questions: Is this reaction normal given my history? Is it possible I
> have another cyst already? Is this scar tissue? Is there anything
> recommended to alleviate the pain and pressure? Should I seek a second
> opinion (my physician is a well-respected gyno-onchologist and I do trust
> him).

> Thanks,
