i am sorry you are having to go through all of this. I have never heard of neurontin causing adhesions. I talked with several people who have found benefit from taking it, and so I gave it a try too. Given it takes a while to "work", it is hard to know exactly - but I think it helped me as well. Hang in there, I do hope you feel better soon!
