Karin,

I also had adhesions from where my gallbladder was removed. After hysterectomy I had more adhesions, they were causing many symptoms.I was told the pain is stress related and was offered pills like zanax! I knew I had pain and never gave up! I was fortunate enough to see dr. Redan in orlando. He did sprayshield and for once in my life I am pain free for 6 months now! He is amazing. Do not give up! ------Original Message------ From: IAS Admin \(Tracy\)Sender: adhesions@adhesions.org To: Multiple recipients of list ADHESIONS ReplyTo: adhesions@adhesions.org Subject: FW: ?'s n ew Sent: Apr 9, 2010 2:42 PM From: mandielundy@verizon.net (Mandie Lundy) Subject: Re: ?'s n ew

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.
