Dear Karen, I am also in intense pain on my left side. It started in my lower pelvic area and I was diagnosed with levator ani syndrome, basically spasms of the pelvic floor muscles. Unfortunately it is not that simple and by bowels are involved, so it looks like more adhesions... but in physical therapy, I learned some great stretches that really helped, if nothing else it just got my abs stronger. They also have me doing execises on one of those giant swiss balls that you sit on. You barely move, but the balancing really stretches that spot out. As I said, this has helped the muscles, but that's about it. If you have a fax # , I'd be glad to send you a sheet with the stretches. It will help especially if you are walking as well. I am scheduled for surgery at the end of may with Dr Redan for lysis of adhesions, but plan on working out as best I can to get as strong as possible for the surgery.

Feel Better love, kellyd
