Hi Yvonne, Don't give up!!! I've been having test run since September 2004. I finally changed my PCP to a friend of mine and now, we are on the right track. I am having surgery on Wednesday for Lysis of Adhesions with a trauma surgeon in my area. I'll let you know how that goes, just don't give up. When I went to see him the first time we talked and he's almost positive it is adhesions.

He did say that it is not one of his favorite surgeries to perform because there is no guarantee that they won't come back. He said when your quality of life is not there, then there is no other choice, so....I'll say a prayer Wednesday and hope I get relief.

This web-site was a god send for me. You can only be told that "NOTHING IS WRONG" so long before you are just beat down and have no faith in the medical profession any more. Then all of a sudden you end up here reading page after page of the same problems you have. It helps to know you're not alone.

Hope I helped a little.

Good Luck Tuesday
