Abdominal adhesion problems

I've had abdominal adhesions for almost eight years.
These resulted from a hysterectomy in 6/96 and from
an incisional hernia repair, which resulted from the
hysterectomy, done in 3/97. I have had irregular
colon function since right after the hernia repair,
resulting in worsening constipation over time. I'm
chronically impacted every day and always feel very
uncomfortable. This has caused bad circulation in
both my legs, resulting in reddish brown hard dry
flaky skin around the bottom portions of both legs.
My inner and outer ankles on my left foot are swollen
almost all day, every day, and sometimes both my
ankles on my right foot swell also. My left leg seems
somewhat swollen towards the bottom of my left leg.
My body is always toxic and it's very uncomfortable
to bend over when trimming my toenails, walking, and
doing household chores, etc. Does anyone else with
abdominal adhesions have these problems? What do you
do to keep yourself regular? Also, I have a lot of
very bad bloating all the time. Does anyone know of
a really competent surgeon who is skilled at removing
adbominal adhesions through laparoscopy? Do you know
of any surgeons who can do this type of surgery here
in Phoenix, Arizona or anywhere in the country?
Thanks,
Lynn
