Hi Libby,
I also had adhesions wrapped around my ovaries, thus adhesiolysis was
performed due to pain. I have pain when I ovulate, but had a
hysterectomy, so no more bleeding. It is increibly painful for me for
roughly 1 1/2 weeks out of the month. I think this is due to the fact
that more adhesions have formed. Dr. Redwine is supposedly a great
endo surgeon, so I have heard. I will probably go to him in the near
future. Endo, from what I know, which is not much, causes pain, and
especially if the ovaries and tubes are involved. Ask questions, and do
not give up. Good luck.
