I am glad that you now understand that you are not alone.... *grin*
Good luck with your doctor's appointment next week.... a word of advice, from someone who has learned the hard way about the pain associated with surgery and adhesions. Ask your doctor LOADS of questions, make sure he answers them all in an easy to understand way and that the answers are detailed enough to satisfy you. Ask him about his experiences as a surgeon with adhesions, does he believe they cause pain? How does he treat patients with adhesions and does he believe that surgery will resolve the pain, what is his success rate with adhesions lyses?
I have had several surgeries that actually made things much worse, not better. I have had both laparotomies and laparoscopies. It was only when I had my most recent surgery on Aug. 1 that I gained relief.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
Love & warm gentle hugs, Jo
