Subject: Has anyone had periocorinitis and bowel obstruction
Hi I'm 23years of age and from Australia,i can't believe that I came across this site, i will definately be kissing my girlfriends arse when i see her! Anyway, i have had a burst appendix when i was 14yrs old and a major bowel obstruction at 16yrs of age. At 19yrs of age i had a laproscopy and had some adhesions removed! The specialist said that they had formed a cob web all over my abdominal region and that hey had to curetee the inside my uterus! Well i had relief for almost a year and they came back, I know that it's adhesions, i just know what my body is feeling! I have seen 3 different specialist and the fist one told me that i need to do more sit ups and strengthen my abdominal muscles? The second one gave me tablets that help give relief to people who suffer from IBS! The third did a trial on the contraceptive pill to figure out wheteher I had endometriosis, and without fail after three months of taking the medication- yes it helped manage my painful periods but not the pelvic pain that I feel every single day! Sorry this is so long! He has referred me off to a pelvic specialist who only deals with pnts who suffer from adhesions! The appoitments in 2 weeks i have waited 2 months almost! I can't remember who's letter i was reading but like they said can't they do a laproscopy to see what's going on inside first? They tell me more surgery will make things too difficult with the massive scaring that is on my body! What to do- i can't think of how i'm going to cope with life- sex suckx because it hurts soo much and so does normal day to day excersising -I fell all TANGLED up inside!PLEASE HELP I NEED SOME ADVICE!
