Sally,
I have a tremendous amount of adhesions and, thankfully, doctors who
recognize the pain. When it gets really bad (usually after a week or more of
such intense pain it causes vomiting and near dehydration) I am hospitalized
for IV fluids and pain meds. The pain meds most successful for me is
Demerol. I had a colon resection surgery and a 2nd surgery for an intestinal
blockage. During both of these, adhesions were removed. After the 1st
surgery I got C Difficile Colitis (a very nasty infection). The Triple
Lumina is till in my neck for IV meds and will be changed every few days by
the visiting nurse. The IV pump & I have become good friends and it even has
gone with me out to the mailbox! Thankfully, I am at home and not stuck in
the hospital for a long stay.
Thank you for your interest and we know NOTHING is nosey in this forum.
