Hello. I am sorry to hear about your pain, I know only
too well how bad the bad days are. I am 28, and had a
hysterectomy at 22. Luckily I had children early.
I still have problems every day and am on Duragesic
Patch after the Pain clininc released me, because
they can no longer help me. The hysterectomy helped
me for about a year, a pain free year. But than I
started having problems again. To make a long story
short, they did not remove all my ovarian remnants.
I still to this day have ovarian tissue, thus
endometriosis and adhesions. And it keeps growing.
Ive had over 15 surgeries in 6 years and am on my way
to another because now it has affected other parts of
my body.
Everyone however is different and we all have our
own history of what has worked and what hasnt. Only
you know your body and how you feel. There are people
that the surgery has worked for. Surgery however is
not always the answer, which is pretty depressing to
know that they cant go in and get it out and be done
with it. This is the trouble I have had, realizing
there is nothing more I can do except surgery after
surgery, which in all reality causes more problems,
more adhesions. The best support or advice I can
give you is to follow what your body tells you.
If your not happy with 1 doctor, find another. Dont
give up, keep fighting. If you need someone to talk
to, there are many of us out here who know what you
are going through, and have been there. Good luck!

Hello,
I've been reading posts on this board for awhile, however this is my
first time actually posting. I have severe adhesions of the pelvic area
and bowels. The doctors feel these adhesions have come from 2 prior
lapartomoties for large ovarian cysts. I have been for 3 opinions and
all 3 doctors have basically not recommended any one treatment over the
other.
