I must reply to this. My pain management doctor has been a savior to me. He has been the only one to request my last surgery tape to look at to figure out exactly where the pain from adhesions is originating from. Not all pain management doctors do not believe that adhesions do not cause pain. Mine has been better than other doctors in trying to relieve the pain. I still have severe pain but he has gone the extra mile for me. Please try another pain management doctor before giving up.

What was the medication that sent you to the hospital? What was the name of the pain clinic so we can let everyone else know not to go there? Is your surgeon at least giving you the pain medicine you need to get through this until surgery? I wish you nothing but the best and hope that God lays his healing hand on you.
