if it is torn how long does it take to heal it has been over six months
Brief Answer:
could be adhesions
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to Healthcaremagic.
Your symptoms are most likely due to adhesions following multiple surgeries.
There are no torn muscles left after six months.
On movement, the adhered bowels stretch and pull back, causing pain.
As your CT is normal, so everything else is ruled out.
And adhesions won't go or improve with any medicine. You need to undergo a diagnostic laproscopy and adhesinolysis for it.
Hope, I have been helpful.
