Hello. I posted a message to this forum back on October 25th, 2006 and
I wanted to update you on how well I have been doing in managing my
abdominal adhesions without the means of drugs and additional surgeries
in the hopes that I can help some of you who are looking for alternative
methods in managing adhesion pain and suffering. My last surgery was in
2004 and it was then that I said "ENOUGH!" on the surgeries and pain
meds and decided to look for alternative methods to help me manage my
adhesion issues. Here it is seven years later and I have not had to
have any additional surgeries nor do I take any medications and I still
remain pain-free and active and am doing the things I love to do and
loving life. You see, I found a treatment called Myofascial Release
Therapy that has been a god send for me. It has helped me remain
pain-free and best of all surgery free for these past seven years. Many
Physical Therapists and Licensed Massage Therapists are becoming trained
in Myofascial Release so it has become much easier to find a therapist
who is trained in this method and can help you in becoming pain free and
more mobile and many primary doctors can refer a patient to a Physical
Therapist for treatment in MRT. Myofasial Release Therapy is a series
of stretches and massage techniques that help loosen and break up
adhesions. For me it has been like a miracle and even my primary doctor
is impressed at how well it has helped me and has started referring some
of his other surgical patients to PT's for treatment. I have read so
many posts on this forum of so many people that are dependent on pain
drugs for relief and keep having surgery after surgery which just causes
more adhesions to build up and I wanted to share my story in the hopes
that it may help some of you who are looking for alternative treatments
to help manage your adhesions. There is life after adhesions and you do
not have to suffer. I hope this message gives you hope and my wish is
for everyone who suffers from the pain and complications of adhesions to
find relief and live a long, happy pain-free life.
