Hi, Terri.
I have a history similar to yours. I got terrible
adhesions after a TAH/BSO in January 2003. Tried to
have them taken down laparoscopically the following
July but they were bad enough that my surgeon had to
do a mini laparotomy instead. Yuck. I refuse to have
more surgery until there are more promising outcomes to
adhesion surgery unless it's an emergency. After my
adhesion surgery I also did extensive physical therapy,
as you did.
I'm curious, you said your pain came back with a
vengence. Did you continue some form of PT and
do your PT exercises and then noticed the pain
was back or did you let up? I've noticed that I have
had to continue some form of alternative treatment
plan or my pain does get worse. Thanks for responding.
