One thing I wanted to add, Debbie... The world is full of doctors who claim that adhesions don't cause pain, and it's all in your head, and they can go in and snip them and you'll be fine, blah, blah, blah. This pain doctor of yours not only knows about adhesions, but knows about Dr. Korell, who is truly one of the handful of doctors worldwide who is capable of doing a surgery on you with a good chance of not making things worse. So along with everyone else I would encourage you to pursue surgery with Dr. Korell. But also, I just wanted to add that your pain doctor is a rare gem! As you read the info on this site you will realize that the pain doctor is a keeper fer sure!
