I have always felt an awful lot of pulling in my back as well as
tenderness of the pelvis. I also felt very full under my ribs and
carried a low grade fever. Due to the extensive surgery, I stayed in
the hospital for a few days and was medicated for pain. When I was
released I couldn't believe that I had no back pain or pulling! I could
actually eat and go the the bathroom! This is the best I have felt in 10
years. I won't say that I am adhesion free, mornings are rough. I also
have Fibromyalgia and migraine headaches. But my qualitiy of life has
definately improved. The doctors told my husband I was a challenge. I
had intestinal adhesions involving the abdominal wall, pelvis and
interloop adhesions. I also had internal hernias, chronic cholecystitis
and complete cul-de-sac obliteration. I pray for all who are suffering,
I know your pain and frustration. I learned the hard way that you have
to take charge of your health, keep a journal or calender so you can
write down your symptoms. Keep a file of everything, ask for copies of
all of your medical records and tests, and remember that you are not
alone. Sherry
