Sorry I didn't see you name at the end of the message...I have been pain free for 16 months now. I had an adhesiolysis last March 22, 2001 with Dr. Gerhart and Dr. Redan in Scranton, PA. They are, in my mind the best at what they do.I recommend contacting their office and having one of the surgeons call and speak to you, they can help. I can't guarantee I will pain free forever, but for now, I am living pain free..and for that and the doctor's that believe in us up in PA, I am grateful. I hope this helps.
Sincerely, another ARD Sufferer,
