Help - Chronic Adhesions

I have finally hit the stage of being absolutely frightened! I just had scope surgery to remove adhesions (for the 5th time) in August 2002. As of December 11, 2002, the exact same pain returned! I made an appointment with the surgeon for the end of January 2003, to see what we can do.

In the past, I have been able to go a few years in between sugeries but this time I only went a couple of months with relief.

My adhesions started out just obstructing my bowels and now they continue to that along with plastering my liver to my body wall. I think that hurts just as bad as the obstruction. With my liver in that condition, I can't move in any direction without pain. Sometimes I even see stars!

I'm already on Effexor for the depression and am scared of going on pain medication.

If anyone has any thoughts - please share!

Thanks
