Hi, PheonixRisers,
Due to a rapid decline in physical health, I find myself spending far too much time researching and reading about medical conditions these days.
Somehow I chanced upon the following video from Dysautonomia International.
It's relatively short, maybe 10 minutes.
If I recall correctly, the doctor speaking is a pediatric cardiologist, who stumbled upon a structural condition that was causing his POTS patient's severe abdominal pain. It's called Median Arcute Ligament Syndrome.
Forgive me if this has already been discussed elsewhere in this forum. I just thought this was worth sharing, as there are a HUGE number of folks on this forum with significant abdominal pain, but no definitive diagnosis for the cause of that pain.
I will let the video do the rest of the explaining, but I will say that a laprascopic surgery not only releived the patient's abdominal pain, but also *cured* her POTS!
Might be worth watching the video if you have these two conditions, which, unfortunately, are most often treated by two different specialists who have no idea that both problems could be coming from the same source.
BTW: Use the link below to click thru to Vimeo. I've tested it. It works.
My best to all!
