In my efforts to learn more about adhesions, I found this site with
great relief! I'm a young 42 year old mother of 3 grown kids. I've had
over 12 abdominal surgeries dating back to when I was 16. The first was
for removal of my healthy appendix and a ruptured ovarian cyst. What
followed were: 3 C-Section deliveries (77, 81 & 84), 1 laperoscopy
surgery for eptopic pregnancy (83), 1 full hysterectomy & removal of
endometriosis (85), 5 laperoscopies for lysis of adhesions (94, 95, 96,
98, 99) and 3 laperotomies (94, 96, 99). In between those years I
experienced severe pelvic pain and problems with my bladdar. I've been
diagnosed with Intersticial Cystitis, which is a painful bladdar
disease, along with recurring scar tissue. After each surgery I get
temporary relief from the major pain symptoms and severe spasms. But,
as in this last surgery 2 months ago (which was the worst surgery of
all), the symptoms begin to come back after about 30-60 days. What if
anything on cutting edge medicine is out there to help prevent future
lysis surgeries? I experienced complications from a nick to my bowels
and an infection that slowed my recupperation. I'm deathly afraid of
another surgery but the odds are against me. Is anyone seeing any
benefits of natural treatments and or homeopathic remedies? I would be
real curious to know if alternative treatments are working for anyone?
Feel free to email me if you have any suggestions. I also experience
pretty powerful spasms that feel like electrical shocks. The MD's call
them myclonic spasms. I know they're from the adhesisons. Just
wondering if anyone else does also? So glad to have found you. Thanks
for being here! RB
