I just want to say hang in there on your pain.
I have a great surgeon.
I have had 15 abdominal surgeries and most have
been over adhesions, last year was the most serious.
I live about 500 miles from my surgeon but I fly back
to have these surgeries that I need. Where I live
the doctors don't know me and tell me that they will
not even attempt to open me up without being life
and death threatening. I guess they don't mind you
having an addiction to pain meds or worse yet, they
don't care how much pain you are really in. My surgeon
has found a few new medical advances that we will be
trying out later this month, the barrier and a new
breakthrough in pain management, he will be putting a
tube with a pump on it that will dispense a lidocain
based medicine to deaden the pain instead of masking
it. This procedure is by Stryker, and you may want
to check it out, the reps will be going into surgery
and talking my surgeon through the whole procedure.
My friend had this done when she had a hysterectomy
and my Surgeon is very intrigued and hopeful that this
will break the once a year surgery.
I do thank god for a surgeon that will listen to me
when I am in pain and actually do something about it.
I feel the surgeries are worth it if I can have 9 months
a year with no pain. Of course, if you have never
experienced it, you have no concept of what it is like
to experience this type of pain. My prayers go out to
everyone that has ever been there.
God Bless
