You are certainly welcome Nancy. I'll be interested to hear what your GP has to say after reviewing this information. It makes me furious to know that adhesions are sidestepped by the medical community. It does seem to strike women more than men but then we have more work done in the abdominal area (hysterectomies, C-sections) than men do so I guess it doesn't surprise me that a male dominate field has chosen to treat it so lightly. As my research continues I am hoping to find people who have had surgeries in other areas of the body which resulted in adhesions forming.
