Hi Everyone,
I have a problem with adhesions, having suffered
for years with Endo.
I have had all the usual operations , hysterctomy,
removal of overies etc, and a further operation to
remove surgical swabs which ahd wrapped around the
bowel.
In 2003 I hd my gallbaldder removed due to stones
and terrible pain and the pain contiued so further
invesigations revealeda diverticluar on the stomach
so another operation was preformed to remove this.
Now I have the most terrible pain back and upper
stomach. I have been told I have a thick band of
adhsions on my right side and this could be causing
the pain and now I also have had 3 partail
obstructuions in 2 months.
I look pregnant and am sick of peolpe asking
when the baby is due .
I am going to see the surgeon next week. I feel
I need to have another operation to make sure that
the adhsions are not affecting any major organs
and also to get releive. I know that is not the
long term answer but I need peace of mind and
some pain free months.
Does anyone have any advice
Love to all
--
Christine
