Linda, I feel your pain and what you are going through on a daily basis. I too am an ARD sufferer like you. I am 42 going on 43 this month and have been trying to stay away from surgery as much as possible.
But I know in the future I will have to have surgery again. The more surgery you have the worst it gets. Surgery is only a temporary fix to a major problem . Many surgeons out there don't really want to deal with the high risk that is involved. I know from personal expierence. I know right now that there is a website you can go to for more info and that is : http://www.adlap.com.
There are 3 surgeons who are very expierenced in the field of adhesions and know all too well what patients go through. I hope this website will be of help to you. If you ever need someone to talk to or need to vent, I am always here to listen. If there is a adhesion specialist you need in your state I would be willing to find one for you. Take care and God bless, Dee
