Bev, I know that my back pain always corresponds to the severity of my
adhesions. It is not just the pain but the constant pulling in my back.
My range of movement is getting limited. I feel like I know my body and
I know when something is wrong. I'm going to my surgeon Fri. and I'm
trying to get up the nerve to ask more questions and hopefully get
answers. I would like to know if it is beneficial to have the adhesions
lysed early before they become too dense. Since I have had many
surgeries for adhesions, my experience had always been that I usually
wait until I can barely walk and function before I give in. This has
only made my laporoscopies turn into laparotomies, sometimes with
complications and a longer recovery time. I also feel that pain
medication is for people in pain!!! Why are some doctors reluctant to
help make life easier for those who suffer? None of us asked to have
adhesions, to be in chronic pain or to have our quality of life to
diminish. I hope my Dr. listens to me and perhaps together we can come
up with some answers. I am very frustrated that I have to constantly
fight to have a somewhat normal life. But I am not about to quit.
Remember, we are friends who stick together!!! Sherry
