Karin,
That is a new one for me! Stress causes adhesions!!! I have had 15
abdominal surgeries. My pain is all the time, and I take pain meds. My
last surgery to have the adhesions removed was 15 months ago. I would
like to have another one, as I at least get 3 months of almost pain
free, and that thing called a life, but my Dr. won't do anymore. I'm
thinking about finding someone that will. I live in Oregon. If you
have any questions you can email me at mandielundy@verizon.net.
