Dear Maureen,
You need to have your DR send you to pain management or increase your
meds so that you don't have so much pain. A regular Dr or and OB/GYN
will work. Right now for surgeries, your best bet would be in Germany.
There are 2 DRs that are using the new spray gel that are recomended
here. Of course, most insurance co will not cover this as it is not FDA
approved. I am not sure of the cost for Frankfurt, but the cost in
Duisburg is about $6,000 depending on airfare. My personal experience
is with DR Korell in Duisburg. I only recomend having surgery with an
expert. Some Drs know about adhesions, but they are not expert enough
to remove the properly. On this site, you will find so much information
about adhesions & will find the support that we all need in dealing with
adhesions. I wish you the best of luck. robin M
