I also take dihydrocodiene at night which helps with pain relief and let me get to sleep - unfortunatley the effects wear off after 3 hours and have break through pain which I have to take more for. Just really miserable at the mo - it has been a long 4 weeks and I have another 8 more weeks on my sofa looming now. > >like everyone here I have had constant pain now for years and it took a lot for me to agree to more surgery and I feel a tad down because of the continual pain - thought last week I was in for some rest bite - never mind > >Hugs to all > >AnnMarie > >--- On Tue, 10/3/09, Donna Johansen <donnajohansen@telus.net> wrote: > >From: Donna Johansen <donnajohansen@telus.net> >Subject: Re: Bit worried - anyone help >To: "Multiple recipients of list ADHESIONS" <adhesions@mail.obgyn.net> >Date: Tuesday, 10 March, 2009, 7:06 PM > >AnnMarie, >We are all so different but one thing I can recommend is trying to get an anti-inflammatory such as Celebrex.

Well - recovery has been hard as I had a mid line incision but last week the pain started to ease off some - now - though - it is back and really bad. I had a wound check on Friday and everything was fine but now pain is awful - back to not sleeping after having a few comfortable nights. I am worried that it is adhesion's back and not just recovery pain - has this happened to anyone else? > >Thanks >AnnMarie
