Hello Dee
I read your e-mail that you wrote to Pam, I
am going thru the same thing as far as seeing
a pain specialist. I will start seeing the
pain specialist next week and was wanting
to get more info from other on how the pain
specialist is helping with dealing with
the pain, not on sure what will happen,
but I am hoping that I will learn to handle
my pain better. I am presently on pain
medication, and I am at the point that if
I don't take it I I can't function very
well. I went to visit a surgeon about a
month ago, he recommended that I see a
pain specialist as an alternative to surgery,
he said that the type of surgery I would
need to have, would be major due to the
adhesion being attached to my intestine.
I don't want to have the surgery, but I
am afraid that something could happen and
then, I would need to have emergency surgery.
I am hoping that the pain specialist will
be able to help with the level of pain I am
dealing with. I have already had adhesion
surgery, which my OB GYN doctor did, he stop
when he got near my intestine, because it
was more then what he wanted to get into.
Thanks
Carolyn

Pam,
I totally understand what you are going thru. I have
had 11 surgeries in all due to adhesions. I am trying
to prevent from having any more surgeries, because
the last surgery I had ended me up in ICU with 4
units of blood given so that I could live.
