I had my GB removed 3/22/00 instead of getting pain relief I was in more pain after my surgery. I went thru Dr.after Dr., I had test after test with all coming back "NORMAL". No one mentioned adhesions until last Dec., but he did not recommend surgery instead he prescribed anti-depressants & sent me to counseling for my depression. All that did was make me feel like I was a nut! It did not help me cope with my pain or relieve it in any way. I weaned myself off the drugs & found a surgeon who operated on me 7/29/02. Although this surgery did not relieve me of my pain it did confirm that I had adhesions attaching my liver to my pancreas, colon & intestines. My pain was not imaginary, the surgery confirmed that I did have adhesions & I was not a nut! I still have lots of upper right quadrant pain, it is very debilitating. I'm still trying to get relief from the pain I live in every day. I have an apt. with a new pain management Dr. next week, I hope he can help me. I hope this helps you with some of the answers you are looking for. Take Care, Rita --- "Dr. Judy Kemp" <jukemp@utmb.edu> wrote: > Jackie,
