I have to be different when I do things.....I have had a ct where my adhesions showed up. I had very very intense abdominal pain a few months after a surgery.....I was transferred by ambulance to Milwaukee, where they gave me massive doses of morphine.....as soon as they did a ct scan they found a mass of adhesions...roughly the size of a basketball around my incisional midline. They were all very inflamed. But of course as doctors go they stopped the morphine and gave me motrin!!!!! I want to see some of these male doctors suffer with adhesions once!
