Bev,
This was my experience as well. I went to three of my physisicans who
had all had their hands in me literally I might add, and told them for
two months solid that my pain is in my ovary. I got that look, need I
say more. Anyway when I had last adhesiolysis done guess what my right
ovary was bilaterially wrapped in? Yes, adhesions! And...that was
attached to my small intestine. Plus...ovarian cysts had bled into my
fallopian tubes, which were tied, so they resembled sausages, and had
two cysts removed from ovary. I remember telling ER people over and
over again the pain is in/or on my ovaries. I have copies of doctors
visits, everything else in in the damn reports, but do you think the
pain I mentioned is in the thing? Heck no. My other adhesiolysis , or
should I say my first was when my appendix was attached to my bladder
and vaginal wall across my abdomen due to "extensive" adhesions. I see
your point about inflammatory meds, but I do not get much relief with
them, but then again I have only tried a few.

>>constant..and my WBC was elevated, I was on 15 - 20 pills a day....and
>>never for one minute of one day did I NOT have pain! I had ONE

>>area of a stationary attatchment site. One can draw their own
>>conclusions, one can study thier own op. reports, and one can also have
>>a WBC drawn, but this has not only been my experince, it is based on a
>>number of study's of operative reports...and no one else has come up
>>with anything better yet as for the pain! But it is known that not all
>>adhesions cause pain...thank-GOD she has been spared, Pete! Look at the
>>study's that have been done through Interceed as to adhesion pain and
>>the % of adhesions found in surgery's.....95% of all abdominal/pelivic
>>surgery's result in adhesion formation, yet not everyone of those
>>experinced any pain. My son works in a pathology dept, he performs
>>autopsy's all the time and states that he is continuously seeing
>>adhesions in the abdominla/pelivic cavity, on the heart around the
>>lungs..all the time! ...
