It's difficult to say. Everyone is so different. I see that people's
pain often worsens and others who say theirs stays the same. Honestly,
I have good days and bad days . . . it all just depends on you.
That's one of the bad things about having adhesions . . . you just
sort of wait and see. The unknown is terrible. It's been two years
since my last adhesion surgery and if everything stays like it is right
now I won't have another one. I've been able to manage keeping my pain
levels at about 3 with only occasional spikes. Then again, I'm not
dealing with the nausea, crampy pain like a lot of these folks are. Mine
is more tightness, pulling, and "nervy" pain. Good luck.
