Hi Donna, from Lou, I am so sorry that you are having so much adhesion pain again, will the Dr. in Germany, be able to help you again, No one should face pain alone, you need the love and support of your family, sometimes things do not work out as we wish and it not your fault, do not go alone.it grieves me that you are suffering alone in silence, this kind of surgery their are no guarantees as you well know by reading the story's on the adhesion site Take care, Lou
