>Jo,

I haven't had any further testing.Any cutting is out.I have had C-section with tubal ligation and abdominal Hyst.I am sure I have a lot of adhesions and don't want anymore.You are lucky you can get some RX for it.I am just at a standstill for now. I try to watch what I eat because I am also latex allergic and there are lots of food allergies associated with the latex allergy.How far along are you? Let me hear from you. How long ago was your surgery? I never dreamed there would be this much discomfort afterwards. More than before. Take care.Susan
