Hi there,
I suffer from adhesion really bad. Last year
I had surgery to remove my adhesions, by a trauma
specialist. I though I was doing the right thing!
My first surgery on Sept. 9,2003 went pretty smoothly!
But with in 24 hour I started running a fever, and
became very ill, my left side hurt so bad and my abdomin
was extended. my surgeon sent me down for x-rays and a
barium x-ray, which was not fun at all, I then was on
my way to surgery again as the found a hole in my
intestines, all in all I spent 17 days in the hospital
and almost lost my life! I did get seprafilm then,
but it is well over a year now, and I am back to
square one again.
I can no longer eat I am back on ensure!
Having another surgery, will by time and that is
it! The more surgery the more adhesions that grow
back! There is no cure for adhesions! There are
only a handful of doctors that can help, none of
which in the USA, and the few that are in the USA
can not operate with just surgery alone the
adhesion will come back.
I really believe that the more sugeries , those
adhesions come back 3 times worse! You might want
to try pain management, I am currently in pain
management and it helps!
