adhesions suck and I am fed up!!!

I am new to this forum. Until yesterday, I thought I was the only one that suffered from adhesions. I live in Idaho and the doctors here are "small time" so they seem to not know anything about them. I have seen many doctors and they all seem to think that the pain is either in my head or I'm "drug-seeking". I'm tired of not being taken serious and not being diagnosed correctly. I've finally moved to the biggest city in Idaho and finally I'm gaining some ground on them believing me and running tests. But now I've been referred to a chronic pain center and told that there is nothing that can be done for me. I'm scared because I need a partial hysterectomy and am scared to death that the surgery will screw me up even more. I've already had 4 surgeries to remove the adhesions to my liver, bowels and ovaries. Now, one more surgery could put me even in more chronic pain. Has anyone out there got any suggestions on this? I am desperate to find help. I appreciate this site so much because until yesterday, I suffered in chronic pain alone. I don't know another sole in this world that has my problems. Thank God for you all.

Merry Christmas to all Tonya
