I am curious...you've been through 2 surgeories with
Dr.Korell...which means your adhesions came back and
he did it again. What still makes you want to go back
to him? For all this talk of Dr. Reich and Redan and
this German dr. noone seems to be free of pain...what
makes it worth the travel and money when they seem to
accomplish no more than the other doctors? Is it the
procedure itself and the feeling that they are more
compassionate, more safe? I am curiuos because I use
this sight to outweigh wether it's worth it to go
through any form of adhesion removal for
pain...blockage leaves you no choice, just curious.
