In

sense

same

> >> pain when standing for long periods of time, pain when sitting past 15
> >> minutes, awaking in the middle of the night in pain, a significant

> >> fatigue, problems passing my bowels, pains when urinating, pains
> >> shooting down my legs and lower back pain. I was placed on Elavils 10

> >> My physician expressed reservations with conducting another surgery,

> >> The idea of applying for disability at age 38, wasn't appealing.

> >> First I purchased a 32-ounce bottle. Since drinking water was a habit
I
> >> failed to master, I decided to start. I made sure I drank at least two
> >> 32-ounce bottles of water each and every day. Also, I purchased a
> >> massager (hand held) and some massage oil. Lastly, I purchased a moist
> >> heating pad.
> >>
> >> 1. Twice a day (morning & night) I would use ice to numb the area(s).
I
> >> learned from researching wombs, that numbing the area causes the white
> >> blood cells to move away which helps to minimize the pain;
> >> 2. Once the area was good and numb, I would rub the massage oil on the
> >> areas;
> >> 3. Next, I would use the massager to massage the area that was
> >> re-developing adhesions. In the early stages, I would take a pain
> >> killer to help me thought this step. The massager has three different
> >> speeds. They are: soft, medium and hard.
> >> 4. After about 15-20 minutes of massaging my abdominal area, I would
> >> take the moist heating pad and lay over my abdominal area for another
> >> 25-30 minutes. Moist heat allows the white blood cells to return to
the
> >> area and remove any toxins broken up during the massaging time. Please
> >> note: do not use the heat for more than 30 minutes. Too must heat may
> >> cause another type of pain.
> >>
> >> I continued to use the massager each month, I would increase the level
> >> each month until I was in the third month and my pain was sufficiently
> >> reduced. I used the massager until my pain was completely gone.
> >> Occasionally, I still use the massager. Old habits are hard to break.
