Thank you Ginni and Peggy, I have been told this by so many doctors here
in Cinti, and even dr semertzidies does them all laparotomy, I know that
the large incision causes more adhesions, I am aware of this, just do
not know where to turn.
I am ahving trouble trying to understand the pain I have had for the
last two days, it was so much better, at least I could do things. I
have suffered alot the last 2 days. And the pain clinic says there is
no more they can do with meds. I am still on oxycontin, neurotin, and
trazadone, and they added ativan for my nerves. That was my pcp did
that! I am so tired of all of this! BUT THANK YOU GIRLS!
