Re: possible adhesions

I have been having similar symptoms. I've had
three c-sections. In August, the tightness I've
felt for the past two years turned into pain.
The same pain you describe. I've had many tests
done from an ultrasound to a cat scan to even a
colonoscopy. Though the doctors suspect adheasions,
nothing significant has come from the tests.
They have pushed many pain killers on me, but
with three young children to look after it is
impossible to take. Yes, sometimes the pain
dulls a bit with more activity but I also tire
very easy. I meet with another surgeon at the
end of the month and hope he will agree to try
some time of procedure. The first surgeon I
met dismissed me by saying it is a misnomer
when women complain about abdominal pain due
to adhesions. Or course, I bet he has never
had three c-sections! I wish you much more
luck than I had with the tests. Also, be
persistant. We shouldn't have to deal with
this kind of pain.
