I have had 4 surgeries for adhesions. This time my surgeon said he
wasn't going to operate just for adhesions because of the possibility of
bowel resection. In about 1 month I have a series of tests scheduled to
determine if there is anything else that may be causing the pain and
would give them an excuse to operate. In the meantime, I want my life
back. I've had to stop all exercise, boxing, ballroon dancing,
bellydancing. I'm not about to take pain meds because I would not be
able to work. I only take some at night to help me sleep. So I called
on my friend a massage therapist and also found an acupuncturist who is
licensed in Chinese medicine. They are working together to stop the
pain and loosen the grip that adhesions have on my innards. And...it's
working!The combination of deep massage, acupuncture and Chinese herbs
has allowed me to stand straight and walk without wincing. I am walking
my dogs again and hope to return to dancing (gently)in about 2 weeks. I
will take the tests..I'm 50 so am due for one anyway... but by then I
hope to tell the doc that I am no longer in pain.
If you live in So. Cal I would be glad to give you their information.
