>Thank you all for your responses. I found a new doctor
who agree's that my adhesions cause me terrible pain.
(My first question to him was if he believed adhesions
caused pain.) I feel like it is Christmas!!!! He listened
to me, did not make me feel like I was faking or seeking
drug. He has started me on Oxicontin.
Within 1 1/2 hours of taking it, my pain was almost non
existant!! I am very clear about the effects long term
w/ this med but the releif is worth it. I also found
it interesting when we discussed the Tramadol that my
dr also believes it is addictive(he has quite a few
patients that were)But he said that the withdrawls
are worse and pain relief is far less superior.
Good luck to all.
