Hi Jeanne and welcome to the board. One of the best ways to educate yourself
and answer maney of your question is so read through our personal experiences
that are posted on the Adhesion Quilt. Also, you might enter "surgery" into
the search for archived message board posts.
My first surgery involved the removal of 18" of colon, I have had 2
adhesiolysis procedures since then with adhesions and increase in pain and
symptoms each time. My last surgery was with Dr.'s Reich and Redan at the
Scranto Adhesions Center. While I think they are excellent docs and I would
return to see them when I just can't take it anymore, the surgery did not
prevent the adhesions from reforming.
Full Catastrophe Living is an excellent book for helping those who live with
chronic pain regain your quality of life, and to pick up a copy would be the
best advice I could give you on where to start.
Much love and hugs,
Janet
