Hi Everyone, I am 28 years old and as I have
read am not alone in the adhesion hell. Five
years ago I had my son and had to have an
emergency c-section and thats when my hell
started. After having an infection I started
to have horrible pain and bleeding all the time,
so the doctor I was seeing said lets do a laparoscopy
and he accidentaly hit a major blood vessel and
I bleed internally. Went to see another doctor
and he tried everything to stop the pain and
bleeding but nothing worked. I was able to get
pregnant but had a horrible pregnancy. I had my
son, but two months later has to have a hysterectomy
(packed with adhesions)at that time my uterus was
adhered to my abdominal wall.I wanted to leave
my overy in because I didn't want to have to take
hormones for such a long time but, One year later
back in again for my overy adhered to my bladder
so now I have had a complete hysterectomy and
thought what else could possibly be wrong there
is nothing left in there I must be crazy .
January 2005 back again (everytime being cut
open)this time my colon and small intestines
adhered.
My doctor who has been great through all of this
got seprafilm and put it in. I thought this is
going to work but 4 weeks later I am in pain again.
I wonder will this ever end? I have 2 kids that
need their mom not to be in pain all the time
(my 5 year old suffers from anxiety and my 2
year old has a speech problem). I am lucky that
I have an awesome husband but how long will he
put up with my cronic pain I just went back to
the doctor Friday and he said that it might just
be the healing process because it has only been
5 weeks since the sugery but I know this pain too
well. He says that he can scope me and try to see
if there are more and that they should not return
from laparoscopy I don't know what to believe
anymore feel like I am going crazy. Will this ever
end or will I live the rest of my life like this?
Thanks for your time
