Hi, I am both sorry and somehow happy to hear there are others out there
with the same or like problem I have. I have been suffering from
adhesions for many years. I was just diagnosed with Chronic Adhesions
about 5 years ago. After having an Hysterectomy. I thought I would be
free of all the groin/abdomin pain I have know. No such luck. I have
had 5 Laparoscopies since the Hysterectomy. I have also been going to a
"pain manager" for the past 5 years. I get trigger point injections
about every 3 months. They do help quite a bit . I have also been
prescribed many different medications in hopes to find the right
combination to ease the discomfort.I like so many others,am finding that
I am not nuts. Or not yet. These adhesions and the pain they cause are
real. I am hoping to make contact with one of the Doctors that
specialize in Adhesions. I would sure like to have a chance to live a
day without pain and fear of pain. Cindy
