Hi Heather and Welcome!
You are definitely not alone, there are MANY of
us suffering from adhesions.
To say where your adhesions came from is a guess,
but it could have been from your previous cysts or
an infection or injury, if you did not have a
previous surgery.
Unfortunately, there is no telling on whether the
adhesions will come back or not, everyone is different.
Adhesions (which are basically internal scar
tissue) are normal, and normally occur within 2
weeks of surgery. However, many people do not feel
them until much later when they tend to get tougher
or tighter and start causing problems. Vicodin is
not normally the pain medicine of choice for
adhesion sufferers, but again, everyone is different.
There is NOTHING you can do to stop the reoccurrence
of adhesions right now, especially since it doesn't
sound like your doctor placed any type of adhesion
barrier in there. Just try to continue with a
normal lifestyle.
Continue to be as active as you can, and don't
worry about it. If the pain does return, come
back to this site for help and encouragement.
A lot of us are long time sufferers who have tried
many things to rid us of this debilitating problem.
We are here to help.
We wish only pain free days ahead for you!!
Janine

Hello everyone!
I'm glad I found this website, because
I am really freaking out. Perhaps I
should start at the beginning of my
story, though...
At the beginning of this month (March) I
kept waking up in the middle of the night
in pain.
