Hello, My name is Lillian. In June 2001 I had surgery where they removed about 6 inches of small bowel using a mini Laparotomy and they used Suprafilm . They took down about 70 %of my adhesions and for 6 weeks I felt great. Then it all came right back. This was my 7th surgery in 11 years. I have opted to do what ever it takes to stay away from surgery especially after reading Karla Nygen story . I am taking Matrix Treatments through Pain Management and I have taken 6 in 2 weeks. The first 5 did nothing for me and I thought what a waste of time and money until great minds got together and used a different angle and it knocked my pain out for the past 3 days I have been doing things that I couldn't do in the past 2 years. I couldn't ride a lawnmower or handle lifting of any sort. I could barely go shopping or mop my house. I could barely bend to do Laundry. Intercourse was absolutely murder. My life was totally worthless as far as I could see. I could barely see I was walking in a cl! oud of doom. With all the pain meds I was disgusted. Now I am still on pain meds but i don't have any breakthrough pain so far. I am not swearing by this but I am saying it did me some good. My pain level was at 8 when we did one treatment then I left and it was still 8 I returned an hour later and we tried a different approach and it kicked my pain out completely and that was 4 days ago and i am doing fine still. You may want to look into it.I wish you good result with whatever you do. Best wishes . Msvirgo9459@aol.com
