My son is 24 years old and began suffering from abdominal adhesions
after a total collectomy in 2006. He has had approximately 17 surgeries
for adhesions. He has been to Dr. Redan. After that surgery, the
adhesions were back within a couple of months. Being in Texas, it is
not an option to fly to Florida all the time. A surgeon was located in
the Dallas area 2 years ago that has been trying to help him. This
doctor performed 2 surgeries 6 months apart and said he had never seen
adhesions grow that fast. At this point, my son's pain is so bad he
doesn't want to go on living. He has an appointment Wednesday with his
surgeon. I am going along to see if there are other options...a
different barrier, biopsy the abdominal wall to see why the cells mutate
during healing...something has to give! There has to be a reason so many
suffer from cells trying to heal too quickly! It's time to get to the
bottom of the problem instead of doctors telling people: 1. You're a
drug seeker 2. There's nothing wrong with you, all tests are normal 3.
It's all in your head 4. You look fine, you can't be sick 5. You're
constipated (when there is no colon). There has to be a doctor out
there in this world that is willing to think outside the box and figure
out what is going on inside the body to form adhesions within just a
month of surgery!
