My past record of adhesions after appendectomy (medically proven after a barium meal X-Ray), severe adhesions after my total knee replacement which left me with a leg I can't bend, the medical report that states my gall bladder was full of adhesions when removing it and that I had my right fallopian tube removed during pelvic surgery due to them being riddled with adhesions must back me up surely?
I would say I am a likely candidate for adhesion formation and especially as I have had 31 surgeries to date. If Mark doesn't do anything though I am not going to let this go. Does anyone know of anyone in Ontario, Canada (preferably the Niagara, Hamilton Wentworth, Peel or GTA area) who could help me with this?
Thanks and take care
