Welcome! Your pain is more than likely caused from
adhesions. From my own personal experience Drs. do NOT
want to admit they cause chronic & debilitating
pain. Please refer to Helen & Jo's messages in the
archives, they seem to know more than most of us on
here. We are here to share our own experiences &
hopefully they will offer comfort to you. Vent all you
want to, it helps, it really does. Don't give up!
Take Care,
Rita in AZ
