I have had pain from pelvic adhessions for 4 years. I have tried a
little of everything. I have been hospitalized for IV pain meds, had
surgery to remove some of them, and finally found a good pain management
Dr. 3 hrs away. I started out getting triger point injections with a
steroid, which helped for about 1 month. Every month for about 6 months
I would get one. Then they stopped working. The Dr. always seemed to
have another plan. I started going to physical therapy for deep tissue
masage.
It wasn't the most comfortable but long term it helped. Next I
tried steroid injections in the nerve in my pelvis getting one a month.
This again was great for about 6 months. Then they switched the
medicine to ??something else that was new which worked great. Also I
was on flexaril 3 times a day, lyricia twice a day, Ultram for pain as
needed as well as other ones. Then I tried a TENS unit. This is a
little device that had electrical leads that you stick on the area of
pain and it sends electrical stimulation. This seemed to take away the
pain. This was the best thing in the world. I could function again.
Between the nerve inj. and the TENS life was great. I then found a new
pain management Dr. 5 min. from my house. The only problem was he
didn't have the new medicine they were using. However he did surgery
and inserted a nerve stimulator in the area of pain. This practically
made me pain free. It is a miracle. This was inserted just under my
skin. There are 2 leads that go from my groin to my hip and then still
under the skin the wires go around to a battery pack in my back. It
feels a little like the TENS unit that was external but it is internal.
If anyone would like more info on this please let me know. I now have
my life back!
