Hey, Michelle
I know how you feel, im 26 years old and have had two surgeries to
remove adhesions. and i can feel them growing back. i see a lot of
doctors, that know very little about adhesions. all that they want to
do is give me pain killers and we all know that it is back for the long
term. Ive had a total hysterectomy because of the adhesions. its fun
every time i have adhesion removal surgery the doctor always feels so
happy with him self, and tells me that the adhesions will not grow back.
but they do, so i kept looking for a doctor that can really help me. and
i see no end in sight to all of this. so good luck with all your
surgeries, and maybe God will bless us all with a cure. thanks for your
post, it helps to know that im not alone. God bless kim
