Chris,
I do not remember the contractions, I did not have hard label, I was
csection. But the tightening in the abdomen is akmost constant! I use
the work very constricting, and that is when I cannot get up from
sitting, and I pulled side ways to get in the car tonight, and it hurt
really bad to twist the way I did. I also get sharp pulling and small
stabbing pains that just are there when ever, they pop up at any time,
since the neurotin, seem that it may be helping that alittle, makes it
easier to do things. Let me know how your appt. goes, please I am
afraid to ask about one, I am afraid the pcp will think I am crazy! But
I think the biggest problem with me was that transverse colon had stuck
to the pelvic floor, and suppooesed to ne across your navel, also
extensive adhesions tho, on all the loops of small bowel.
Talk to you soon!
Toni
