Rosemary,
I am sorry that you feel lost. I also know what
it is like when a doc tells you he won't operate
on you anymore. I have been told that I would not
have another operation to remove adhesions again
(had3)unless I had a bowel obstruction (which in
my case is very possible).
You need to find a specialist in your area.
Maybe a colorectal surgeon.
Ask your GP if they know any adhesion specialists.
You have to be your own advocate and keep searching
until you can find a doc that will help you. I am
going to see a chronic pelvic pain specialist on the
25th. I have had Seprafilm placed and it still
doesn't work. This is what I did, I called all the
pain clinics in the phone book asking if they have
experience in chronic pelvic pain, until I found
this one. Please make sure you ask this. Most
pain specialist only deal with musculoskeletal
pain(back pain, bone pain ,etc).
I wish you the best.
