Dear Stiofan, When I read your post, I was in awe and overwhelmed. I can't imagine adhesions since a baby. You are brave and incredibly noble. I know you've had no choice, its like being a hero because your boat sank. LOL Hopefully, you can get help now and have a pain free life. I look forward to the day when you post that you don't feel cramps, or pain at all. Good luck to you, with kindest regards, Sally Grigg
