You need to find a GOOD pain management specialist who will try everything
to help with your pain.
Secondly, if you have any more surgeries, please have a doc that specializes
in adhesions. I would not go to a dr. that says adhesions don't cause pain.
I feel for you, I struggle daily even with pain management but hope to some
day be free of these.
