Karen,
I too had problems like yours, except I never
was able to have children. My period were becoming
extremely painful and further more the ob/gyn
couldn't even do a regular exam on me because of
the pain I was in. So he suggested to do a
lapartomy to take a look inside and see what is
going on. I told him I need him to save as many
organs as possible. He said he would try. After
I woke up from surgery, the surgeon came in to
tell my husband and I that I had 7 layers of adhesions
wrapped themselves around my intestines and he had to
take my intestines completely out and discect all of
the adhesions from my intestines, plus he had to do
a complete hysterectomy on top of all of that. He
too had another surgeon with him just in case there
complications which there was. I have really
suffered ever since this surgery and paying for
it dearly.
If the pain becomes unbearable, then you need to
seek an adhesion specialist in your area. Where
do you live? There is a website you can go to :
http://www.adlap.com. There are 3 adhesion specialist
who maybe able to help you. Another suggestion
would be to seek a pain specialist in your area
to help you cope with the pain.
I hope this advice will help you. If there is
anything else I can do, let me know.
