HI. The pain in abdomen is possibly not related to the knee replacement. Yes it is possible that the pain in abdomen can be due to adhesions. The symptoms along with pain will be distension, spasmodic pains, vomiting. This can be easily diagnosed by a plain X-ray abdomen in the standing position which can show multiple fluid levels and further be confirmed by enterocolitis under fluoroscopy control to see the dynamic bowel movement. CT scan can aid in further diagnosis of other lesions and a color Doppler to see that there is no vascular lesions. A proper diagnosis will lead to a better plan either medical or surgical treatment to get a complete and permanent relief.
