Lesa,

Exciting news, hopefully one day in the not too distant future, a very experienced ultrasound technician will be able to detect evidence of adhesions.  I had another ultrasound just two weeks ago and we were talking about my book.  I asked her about this and she said the technology is getting better all the time, and she said their are some very specialised technicians that claim they can pin point adhesions.  Lets keep our fingers crossed that this is fine tuned soon, so that instead of a cut, we will simply need an ultrasound to confirm what we the sufferers already know..... where the adhesions & pain actually is!

love & hugs

Jo
