I had surgery in Scranton, Pa March 15 this year, my pain and symptoms from adhesions were back strong enough to get back on pain meds and laxatives daily within 10 weeks.
I have less pain than before and have learned ways to manage the pain itself and related symptoms a little better too.
What type of pain meds are you on if any? Oxycontin works well for me, and several others on the board, have you tried this?
Welcome again to the IAS website, I hope you will find the help and support you need here.
Love,
Janet
