Hi Melissa,
I am so sorry for your MOM. If the docs told her they would not do surgery
unless there was an obsruction I would leave those docs alone they don't know
enough to help her anyway. You want an adhesion specialist. If you look up
adlap.com you will find helpful info. ANd if your MOM wants to travel to
Germany or Australia there are adhesion specialist there and best of all
Spraygel which for some strange reason FDA will not approve in America until
2004 it is in trials but you don't want that. You need to contact Dr Reich,
Dr Korchinski, Dr Korell or Jo @ Bombobeach.com and maybe one of those can
help your mom. I hope this answers your question. Many docs around here do
not know enough to help. I don't know where you are from But there are a few
docs around and opiates are basically the answer unless you go to those docs.
I have had blocks and all kinds of therapy and it only makes matters worse. I
have had 9 surgeries in the past 12 yrs and 4 of them in the past 3 yrs. and
surgery only causes more adhesions unless done by one of the 4 or 5
specialist in the world with Spraygel. Good Luck and God Bless.If you need
more info we are here go to the adhesion quilt and look at how many are here
and Look into Karla Nyguen story and print it for your Mom and family to read
then tell me you don't want those docs to touch your mom.
Lillian
