Kel, I have had two surgeries that were caused by adhesions. One was my gall bladder (totally encased in adheasions) and the other was my lower abdomen. For 6 months prior to the abdominal surgery I could not lie down and sleep because I felt like I always had to urinate. It was terrible. During the surgery the doc removed scads of adhesions from my vagina, bladder, and itestines. I was glued together, I know, because I have the video. Now, 1/1/2 years later I have the bladder symtoms again. Please tell me about you PA surgery. What will these doctors do that other won't. I may need to see them soon.

I await your reply, Mara msides@pcsun.com

Jean and Helen, I have had Stress? Incontinence since I have had the adhesion problems. I thought it would stop when I had my last surgery for adhesions but it never did. I have had all of those tests on my bladder and they come out o.k. I went to one urologist after my last surgery (drove over an hour to this appt.) and he told me, "You've had too many surgeries, I won't touch you, you probably have nerve damage." Then he left the room. Do adhesions cause Stress Incontinence? My bladder does cramp a lot. I have done Kegels. I've also taken the meds but nothing helps. My Internist said she would try to order the cones for me but she could not find them. I am the one that said that I read where adhesions do not cause stick to the bladder, but I do believe they do. (I am going to find that article and see who wrote it. It goes along with all of the beliefs like, "adhesions don't cause pain, etc.") I am hoping that after my surgery on May 15th in Pa. I will not have to deal with the incontinence any more. I always feel like I have a odor, sometimes I move away from people because I am so self conscious. Kel
