Pain...How much is too much??

I have adhesions from a ectopic pregnancy. I had my left ovary and tube taken out. That was in 1996. I am at a point where the pain is awful!! I bloat up and cramp, at times it feels like a knife twisting. My sex life is non-existant. Had an ultrasound, showed no cysts or fibroids, did show thickening on my left side where the ovary and tube was removed. So doctor said I have adhesions. Now, I have had people tell me to get a hysterectomy and get it over with, my mom had fibroids and they are hereditary I hear. Now I am reading that the surgery itself can cause more adhesions...so...what now?? Sounds like I may be fighting a lost battle. I am only 29 and would not mind a hysterectomy, surgery does not scare me, but I would rather my body process menopause naturally. Any advice is very much welcome and I am so very glad I have found this wonderful place!! And best of all, I AM NOT ALONE...Thanks, Christina
