Dr Wiseman,
I have been dealing with adhesions many years with no luck but chronic
pain and reoccurance. About 14yrs ago I had a laproscopy, since then no
doctor or colonrectal surgeon that I have seen is even willing to do
another one just to see what is happening in my abdomial and pelvic
cavities. They all say because of the amount of surgeries and and
adhesions that have been found that they would be unable to do a
laproscopy without risking doing more damage the areas. I am
continuously in pain, I only move my bowels once or twice a week, I am
always bloated, am not able to eat very much, then when I do, I end up
being extremely nauseous and throwing up. My husband and I cannot make
love without me having a lot of pain during and after for a few days. I
also believe the adhesions are cause of my constant kidney and bladder
stones and infections. Many times I have difficulty urinating. My
Urologist is at lost as to why this keeps reoccuring. The latest
gastroentrologist told me I have gastroparesis, yet I do not have
diabetes or a drug problem. The last time I talked to the
gastroentroloist he said there was nothing else he could do for me. If
you could please help and give me any suggestions I would greatly
appreciate it. I watch my diet closely, drink lots of fluids, eat lots
of fruit and fish. I stay away from food that I know I cannot digest,
believe me there is a lot that i can't eat. Please help me and my
husband. I will celebrate my 42 birthday on the 29th of May, My husband
and I have been married 22yrs with grown children, this is supposed to
be the best time of our lives and because of my health, it is far from
that.
Thank-You very much
Ellen
P.S. Every surgery that I have since and including my hystrorectomy in
1986, the doctors have said that there have been multiple adhesions in
my pevlic cavity.
