I have had surgeries done by "Adhesion Specialists"
and still got them back. Some people have claimed
success with the Spray Gel but there are others that
it did not work for.
My own opinion is that Pain Management is our option
at this time.
I cannot stress enough that if you keep having
surgery after surgery, you could end up in a lot
worse shape.
If you do decide to have another surgery, maybe
you could try one last time with an adhesion specialist
not just any surgeon.
Pain Management is no picnic. It does not help
with all of the pain and other problems associated
with adhesions but it is better then nothing.
Massage, Mental Health Counseling, Low Impact
Exercise or some things you can do.
I myself have finally accepted that I probably
won't ever be able to hold a job again unless
there is a cure and that has been very hard.
I would think that the "hip to hip" surgery
would not be good for adhesions but of course
I am not a dr. You always hear the least
Invasive surgery is the best.

Hi-
I am looking for advice and opinions on
surgery vs. pain management.
