Dear Bobbi,

I hear ya loud and clear...this is a stinkin' disease, and there is alot of crap we have to put up with!

I have had 3 abdominal surgeries in the last 2 years, 2 for adhesiolysis. My last adhesiolysis was March this year, 10 weeks later the pain was back.

Unfortunately, general/family docs do not want to prescribe meds because of the addiction factor, most of us have experienced the same thing you describe. Recently, I started going to a pain cloinic. Your family doc has to write a script for the pain clinic...that's what gets you in the door.

I am taking Oxycontin, and when I keep up with it properly, it most often keeps the pain under control. This might an option to try before another surgery.

Hang in there, and welcome to the adhesions site...we will be here for you!

Hugs,

Janet
