Hi.
Thanks for your query for your daughter and an elucidate history.

Read the whole history about surgery, adhesions and now recently cysts on ovary.
As you have explained that the pain can come anytime and travels down the leg, a suspicion about the involvement of the Prolapsed Interval Disc arises and can be diagnosed only by the MRI of the Spine.
So go for the MRI of the spine
-CT scan of the abdomen
-Enteroclysis for the possible finding of the intestinal obstruction.

The adhesion has a natural tendency to develop as a natures way of protecting the intra-abdominal organs , but in this case it over-reacts to cause a problem.

If a specific problem is found on any of the investigations , your daughter has to go for the surgery for the said cause.

In the meantime take Doctors opinion and treatment to improve her nutritional status, proteins and hemoglobin as deficiency of any of these give bad surgical results.
