Teh biggest problem is pain managemetn DRs usally work with people with back pain. I went to one he was understanding and caring about my back. When he found out about my other health issues he told me to go speak to the chief of spine surgery at the local trauma center. I did and he has helped me and i am walking. The adhesion pain i do not think he could undestand. I find it abosulutely ridiculas that when we get into pain like that we are told to go the Er what can they do unless we develop an obstruction? No surgeon wants to operate for the fear of more adhesions developing. Adhesions are sucha big issue you would think drs would be educated enough to come up with some type of pain managment so we could live a somewhat normal life. Mo iv dilludid every other day is not living
