Dawn,
My name is Tammie, Your story sounds like mine as I'm sure you have read
through the message board and have seen how similar our stories are. Its
amazing! I'm 38 I had my complete hysterectomy at 36 because I was all stuck
together inside just like you. Back then I was told that the only thing that
would rid me of the never ending excruciating pain was the complete
hysterectomy so in my mind I was dealing with never being able to have
children but I figured that I would be out of pain and god would take care
of the maternal part of things for me. I went from the recovery pain from
the hysterectomy straight to the ripping and pulling of the adhesion's that
had started to form through the barrier that the doctor had put in. I have
had NO sex drive since ~ (3 VERY LONG YEARS) I feel its because of having
both of my ovaries removed. If I knew then that all I needed was to be put
on pain management then I would have not allowed him to do the surgery. If
you are going to the bathroom properly and there are no obstructions would
the doctor be willing to put you on pain management for a while. Remember
this is your body and these doctors are surgeons all they know is surgery
and they all push for SURGERY but I'm a perfect example that it was not the
answer and I ended up all stuck together again. You know that surgery causes
adhesion's, the surgery itself is going to cause more adhesion's to form
even if they put a mesh in, my adhesion's grew right through it. Please
don't rush this thinking it is the answer. GO see a pain management doctor
who prescribes medication not the ones who give epidural, nerve blocks.
God Bless whatever your decision is!
Tammie

I have had extreme pain for several years now and found out a couple of
months ago that the cause is adhesions, my ovaries are stuck to my
bladder and bowel and I have a large hydrosalpinx in one of my tubes. I
am due to have a complete removal including both ovaries in a weeks
time. Hopefully by LAVH. I have dozens of 'lumps' all over my body,
mainly in the torso and leg region. I am 47 yrs old. In the past I had
surgery for gallstones, but the surgeon says an undiagnosed infection
the past has caused my problems. Any advise anyone?
