I have several obstructions due to adhesions and I'm looking at surgery number 7 for resection and adhesiolysis. I don't eat food and exist on either TPN or Vivonex Plus (a formula that is inserted through a G-tube when
I'm not vomiting) I've also had problems with fever and pain. I'm on duragesic patch with Actiq 600 micrograms for breakthrough pain. I went to a
pain specialist who was familiar with adhesions and he told me that even surgery would probably not take all the adhesion pain away because new ones would come. He basically told me that my pain control issue was going to be a life long problem. Sheesh. At least I know you all understand!! Rebecca
