I continue to do massage therapy and physcial therapy and feel it has really
helped, some days are still very hard and the nausea and vomiting is a real
downer.
I am going to pain management which is going well so far. My next visit we
will be trying a tens unit, if anyone knows about this I would appreciate
some feedback.
Eileen, have you checked out celebration hospital? I have recently moved to
georgia and if I get in a situation where I need to be hospitalized I will
definitly go there. They
have everything an adhesion patient needs The contact info. is on the
adhesion website.
Also, I know alot of people have been waiting for spraygel. My last surgery
with Dr. Gearhart was May 2010 at which time he used spray gel. However, I
am under the impression this is a tweaked verion. The recovery was very
difficult and took 7 weeks to feel somewhat human. You should ask questions
and do a little research. In 2007 I went to the Cayman Islands where Dr
Reich used the spray gel. After an 11 hour surgery and 3 days in icu I was
very encourage. Within 10 days I could feel the little b's coming back.
The original spray gel definitely made a difference, there are just alot of
areas that are mass like and cannot be seperated.
I know we all hit our brick wall and feel surgery will help or is our only
option, I cannot emphasize enough that myofascial release and physical
therapy are THE BEST of all options.
Good luck and be well.
