Kimberly, There are a lot of us that come on this web site that have been there.. Please don't give up.. You need to get either to a good pain management Doc who can help, or go to one of many different Doctors around the country that specifically deal with adhesions if that's what is going on.. Don't let The Doctors "blow" you off.. Of course we get down , and depressed, etc when no one will listen to us..Where are you anyway.. Their are Docs in Florida, Ohio, I think CA, My Doctor happens to be in Pa, and I would highly recommend at least talking to one of these docs to see if there is anything they can do.. I went through from 03-06 with major problems, doctors here kept telling me it was in my head, although my Gyn Doc knew.. He just wasn't  the one to take care of the abdominal adhesions. I finally started looking my self, and researching things.. It's been four years since my last adhesions surgery.. No I'm not 100%(unfortunately due to the docs here waiting too long,) but I'm soo so much better. I am still in minor pain management, but probably wouldn't be on anything at all if I'd gotten to Dr G 6 mo earlier, But each month sees more improvements still.... Don't give up.. Your family needs you.. My husband unfortunately was not able to hang in there with me through this process, but that's ok, I have two wonderful kids and am looking forward *hopefully in several years_ to grandchildren...Also I know My Doctors there for me if for some reason I have problems again.. but!! So far pretty good. Good Luck M
