Hi Alegna,
Your problem is that the stupid adhesions are attaching to your intestines.
After they have been there a while they start to stretch and pull on the
tissue of your intestines and it really hurts, especially when you have a
big BM. It helps a little to take a stool softener but that doesn't relieve
the pain caused by the intestinal adhesions. How do I know this? I have
abdominal adhesions that are attached to my intestines and my abdominal
wall. I've only had partial obstructions so far...knock on wood, and they
are no fun. There's really not much the doctors are willing do unless you
have a partial or full intestinal obsruction. The symptoms of an obstruction
are: constipation, intermittent to severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, green
vomit, fecal vomiting (vomit that looks like feces-sorry-gross), blood
stained mucus, jelly like mucus. I know this sounds scary but knowledge is
power. If you aren't having these symptoms then you need to find some way to
deal with the pain. If you are having these symptoms, go to the doctor. Hang
in there dear...you are not alone. We are legion!

Adhesions since 2002 and hanging in there.
