Re: uterus adhesions to abdominal wall

I have had the very same experience. Same symptoms.
I have had my uterus removed through laproscopic surgery.
I was ready for the surgery and prayed it would take away
my pain, however, I woke up from surgery with severe pelvic
pain that has not subsided. My surgery was December 9, 2004.
My doctor believed the surgery would relieve the pain.
When he got in there and saw that my cervix was attached
to my bladder with adhesions, he took out my uterus and
some adhesions and decided not even to go any further.
My entire pelvic area is filled with adhesions. I believe
this surgery is extremely time consuming and when doctors
get in there and realize how much work is to be done,
they back out. The surgery took twice as long as was
scheduled. He even explained to me how it threw off
his schedule for 3 days. I was crushed to think that
his schedule was more important than my quality of life.
However, even the best intentioned surgeons have only
been able to give me temporary relief. I actually had
5 pain free months in 2003. Those were the best months
I have had in the past 5 years. I felt like I was
really living the life by just doing my day to day
schedule as a Mom with 2 children.
I do have some advice, if you decide to have surgery,
make sure the doctor uses a barrier after he romoves
the adhesions, it's your only chance of having long
term results. I hope your doctor has more heart than
mine. He is the head of OBGYN at a very prominent
hospital. I hope you have a positive experience and
will be pain free in the near future. I hope the
same for myself, however, it is unlikely at this point.
Good Luck!
