Hi I do agree with the fact that Surgery can make things worse for most with
adhesions. how ever mine were from an unknown source and I did not have
surgery to get adhesions. I have Clubbed Falopian tubes, I have written a
few times regarding my condition, I was told that I do not have endo. But
Surgery saved me. for 2 years I took at least 1-2 days off a month with
AWEFULL pain during the heavy days of menstruation. surgery took that pain
away. I still can't get pregnant however I am better off. But I had a Cyst
rupture and the Emergency room doctors thought it was 70% chance that it was
my appendix. now 6 months after that surgery I can feel where my appendix
was. My appendix was in such a position that if I did have appendicitis I
could have lost my right ovary, part of my bowl or worse! so its blessing
in disguise I guess. So the original surgery was a success 3 years after
still no pain but 6 months later pain returning in a cronic way. Sucks but
its true. i have a laproscopic view of my insides scheduled in March or
April to see how much they have grown back, having Children are more
important than being pain free.

This is merely my opinion but it makes me cringe when people believe
surgery is the answer and it is because of surgery we are all in this
adhesion hell.
