Speaking of adhesions. Im sure by now all of us who suffer chronic pain after a major surgery or hysterectomy know that it is most likely do to ARD (Adhesions Related Disorder). But I have been on sites like Medhelp and Hystersisters and was banned for bringing awareness about ARD. Everytime I say anything that might be seen as a risk or concern after having a hysterectomy gets removed and I get banned.

Seriously this is scaring me so much. Are these websites there to simply sell hysterectomies or something? Am I in a battle with money? We are talking about women and young girls asking if there is anyone out there who has any information about the risks or down side to having a hysterectomy. these women want to know more as they should. But the websites stop anyone from speaking...(if its negative towards the surgery).

HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN THIS OR EXPERIENCED THIS?

I am seriously worried for all the women who go to those sites in hope of truthful answers. Its completley bias and dangerous!!

Hi Jess, Can you describe your pain? I think that the pain you are still having is nerve pain? Debbie B

Thanks everyone for listing some stuff for me. I really appreciate it!!! I have had endo, prior to my hysterectomy...my very first procedure done was supposed to be a lap, but ended up being hip to hip because my whole pelvic area was full of endo. But the main reason for operating in the first place was suspicion of adhesions.... so on top of the endo, the adhesions grew my bladder and uterus together, flipped the uterus upside down, and had some bowel obstruction as well. About 1 year later, I had my uterus out because of more adhesions, and eventually I lost my ovaries one by one. It was awful. When the OB did my Lap last March he also thought maybe some more endo, but for the first time I was clear of everything. So now I just feel like a dog chasing my tail in circldes and getting nowhere. But I am going to research the doctors and Medical facilities you all suggested. Hopefully I can get somewhere. But I just wanted to Thank you all so much for taking the time to respond. It is a priceless act, and I am ever greatful!! Thanx again Love and Light, Jess
