Hi, well let it be known that you are not alone in this battle. I have also
been battling adhesions for a few years.
I also have the major bowel problems. I sit here at 4:30 in the a.m.
wondering if my bowels are going to work.
There are plenty of drs. out there that aren't educated on adhesions. Your
story is an all familiar one to me. As I was searching for help, I was told
that it was IBS, depression etc...I went to the "famous clinic" etc..
I am on pain management which isn't a choice.
I had to keep searching until I found a Dr. to help.
I have had several surgeries but none of helped yet. The best thing I feel
is pain management.

Hello, I don't even know where to begin? I need answers and can't seem
to find a doctor who will listen or even care. I had a
hysterectomy(leaving my left ovary)in 2000. I kept going to my doctor
all the time after the proceedure with intense pain on the right side of
my pelvic. I basically heard that it was in my head. During this time
I was having problems with my bowels. It was alway diarreha. I talked
to a specialist in INDY...for ten minutes(no test, no nothing)he said I
had IB and sent me home. I ended up with another family doctor and
shortly after I started with him I came home from work on day and my
nightmare began. I had a bowel obstruction(caused from the left ovary
they left in me and adhesions). The worst and most painful experience I
have ever had. I have had many surgeries before and after the bowel
obstruction. You know when the doctors or nurses mentioned adhesions
they made it sound like it was no big deal. March 18, 2003 was the
beginning of the end of my life as I knew it. I was 35 years old then,
full of life and energy. I can't work anymore because I am in so much
pain all the time and my bowels sometimes don't move for 14 days no
matter what I take, drink or eat. MOre than one year ago a nurse at the
hospital told me I should do soap suds enamas at home to save me the
embarrassment. So I started that and I didn't have to wait 14 days to
move my bowels anymore. Now the soap suds enamas don't seem to want to
work because it just wants to spray back out. I am terrified and the
doctors are just waiting to save my life. I have seen many surgeons and
they all say the same thing "I won't touch you till it is time to save
your life". Now I have another hernia no one will touch. I am in pain,
sickly, and scared to death and wish they would realize that I need my
life saved now.
