Hi, your doctor said that your adhesions are probably on one side of your colon. As the stool passes through your bowel, it expands, as a result the adhesions rip and tear when the bowel expands before, during and after the bowel movement. I deal with the same thing, and yes it is quite painful. Good luck, Cheryl D.
