Surgery typically just causes more adhesions. I know it is so painful and
all you want is relief. After eight of my own surgeries, I am just worse
than ever. Ladies, I am not at all convinced that even the best surgeons can
permanently remove the adhesions. I do understand that even temporary
relief seems worth it. I thought the same thing until the last bowel
resection. Nothing has been worse than that. Because of the risk of bowel
surgery or perforation it's not worth it to me. I am taking Ultram ER and
it is truly helping me with pain. However, I do require extensive laxatives
to counteract the constipation.I am taking Amitiza and Miralax and sometimes
even other laxatives. The benefit too for me is that I keep losing weight
since going on the meds. I am no longer swelling up and feeling bloated. I
do really recommend this treatment so I hope me passing this along helps any
of you! Trade in Percocet for Ultram ER!!
God bless and lots well wishes to all.

I am seeing the surgeon tomorrow on Monday morning to set up a date for
the surgery. The pain has increased and is now also on the right side
and left side as well. My pain doctor increased my pain med which is
percocet to 10mg.My family is frustrated at me because they just can't
understand why I am still suffering with this.I try my hardest to
explain and my mother seems to be the only one who understands what I go
through. My sister does not because she is under alot of stress of her
own right now. I just want relief from this pain, even if it is only
for a couple of years of pain free, to me it is worth it. If anyone out
there would like to talk, I am always here to listen and pray with you.
Also I could help search a list of doctors in your area for you if need
be. Take care and God bless,
Dalene
