HELLO,
My name is Blair. I came across your old message on the Adhesion
Society. I wasn't sure where you live. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I
have finally found a very good pain clinic doctor. He treats me for
chronic pain, adhesions and fibromalgia. Most of these are caused by
these 10 laparotomy surgeries that were unnecessary!! I know exactly how
you feel. My doctor has people come from different states, just to see
him. Let me know if you would like his name. Maybe he can help you.
You can e-mail me at rcgmiami@att.net
May God Bless You,
