Hi. I had 2 surgeries done laporascoply to remove adhesions from my
uterus, bladder, liver & diaphram. I also had a bladder biopsy done
because I retain urine & have difficulty urinating. I had a complete
hysterectomy done on 2/2/04. They had trouble getting my uterus unstuck
from my bladder because of the adhesions. My doctor also took my
appendix because it was covered with adhesions. The doctor was unable
to get all the adhesions of my liver and kidneys because it would have
created to much trauma for my body. It has been 3 1/2 months since my
hyst. I am still having a lot of the same pain and problems that I had
before. My urologist doesnt know what to due about my bladder retention
and pain. I am taking elmiron and elavil, but he is not sure that is
the right answer. My doctors say pain meds like percocet or vicodin
will only make my proble worse but what am I supposed to due about the
pain. I am getting very depressed because I dont feel like there is
ever going to be an end to this. Any input or advise would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
Joanne
