-- Hi Natalie, Its funny I ask my MD why it hurts more when I lay down and he couldn't give me an answer. In fact no one could! I have been suffering for 10 years now, just recently (2 weeks ago) had another surgery for cut back of adhesion. I must tell you I feel a 100% better today. In my heart I know its only temporary, considering this was surgery #6. I have been averaging 1 or 2 a year these past 2 years. I am grateful to have a break from the pain. I found that modifing my diet helped alot, only draw back is I lost 38lbs. I actually weigh less than my 16 old son. It takes alot of work & planning of meals to get by, but we all seem to do it. Take Care Donna
