Hi Toni:
I saw your question about whether or not I was still here. I rarely
post anymore because adhesions are not causing my pain, even though I
have/had (don't know current status) severe adhesions. I don't think
anyone wants to hear that when adhesions are present it is possible that
something else is causing pain. If I had insisted that my pain was
caused by my adhesions, I would still be nowhere. Instead I have been
to an orthopedic doctor who has helped a lot and Monday I see a
rheumatologist. I'm still in pain, but it has improved, and I have a
lot more information about what could be wrong. It is quite possible I
have a systemic illness that is causing the abdominal/pelvic/back pain
plus a few other things. I do read the posts periodically because I am
always looking to hear good news. I did post to you awhile back when
you said your gyn found a surgeon willing to work with him to wish you
good luck. I guess you didn't see the post.
I told Peggy and now you, I can understand fully why you want to try
surgery again. Another way to look at it, you will have more
information about your condition and that may help. Best wishes to you.
Chris S.
