Just wanted to let ya'll know that I ended up having surgery to remove the adhesions. The pain got so severe that the surgeon and I felt it best to attempt it. Dr. G. said that the scar tissue had adhered to the diaphram and that was the cause of the painful breathing. I'm five days post op and feel wonderful... I can move... I can breathe...
