I am new to the site as well but not new to all this pain. I have been Suffering for 20 years; 12 surgeries; and finally opted for a hysterectomy A year and a half ago. I really thought that would be the end. 6 months after that surgery I was back for another due to adhesions. Here I am once Again and I am scheduled for another lyses of adhesions at the end of May. I have the unsightly belly and severe leg pain that shoots all the way down to my toes! After the surgery the pain will stop for a while but its just a matter of time before I am right back in for more surgery. Not trying to sound depressing.... just realistic. Talk to you all soon Kelly

Hi Elaine... Thanks for the Welcome.... I'm so glad I found this board. I would be interested in learning what your dr says about your belly if it is adhesions. When did you have your hysterectomy? and why? I should have had one I think but just had a myo. Now who knows what is needed for me now.

Well look forward to hearing from you soon, Caryn
