Stomach feels like it is tearing.
I was in a bad car accident 15 years ago and they had to do a lot inside my stomach so I have a big scar there. A couple of years ago I had my tubes tied and they cut my bowels and they had to fix them. But anyways I have been having this really bad pain on the left side of my belly button, it feels like my stomach is tearing. I have had 2 CAT scans and they can't find anything wrong. Can anyone help me?? I feel like everyone just thinks I am making it up because they can't find anything.

I'm not a doctor so I am only guessing at what could be wrong.
our symptoms sound a lot like what my wife suffered with. When you have multiple surgeries in the same area scar tissue builds and sometimes this causes adhesions. This is where the scar tissue attaches to other scar tissue or healthy tissue.
This was not seen on any of the imaging studies she had. Her doctor, her GYN, found it by doing exploratory surgery with a laparoscope and fixing what he found. She has been pain free ever since. This was 30 plus years ago.
I would suggest you speak with your GYN or surgeon about the possibility of adhesions causing your pain. This is something doctors tend to over look especially if you are talking to a different doctor than the one who did your surgeries.

If the pain is that bad, then I wouldn't just blow it off. After going through so much surgery, this isn't something to take chances on. Be persistent. Go to several different doctors if you have to, get as many opinions as possible. Stomach pain can be caused by so many different things that it's hard to give advice on it, but even if it turns out to be something small, it's better to be safe than sorry.
