Mary Ann,
Welcome! You sound like so many of us...the doctor who told you adhesions
don't cause pain should be hung! It is SO irritating to hear those kind of
things. I have tried so many things over the years to try and help my pain.
One doctor shot hydrocortisone into my abdomen, it didn't work, one tried
giving me anti-inflammatories which didn't work either. More surgery is only
a temporary help and if often the cause of a much worse situation. I am
currently on pain pills (vicodin es, 4 times a day, everyday) and just
keeping as positive of an attitude as I can. All of us here have different
ways to deal with our day to day pain. We have to, we really have no
alternative at this time that's 100%.
Take care,
Lesa
