what is adhesion pain like
1 It is important to note that not all pain is caused by adhesions and not all adhesions cause pain. 2  Small bowel obstruction (intestinal blockage) due to adhesions is a surgical emergency. 3  These adhesions trigger waves of cramp-like pain in the stomach.octors associate signs and symptoms of adhesions with the problems an adhesion causes rather than from an adhesion directly. As a result, people experience many complaints based on where an adhesion forms and what it may disrupt.
