HI DANNI
I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY AROUND A SIMILAR TIME TO YOU, I'VE ALSO HAD A LOT
OF ABDOMINAL PAIN AND PROBLEMS, THAT STARTED IN JANUARY 2000. I'VE JUST
HAD SURGERY AGAIN BECAUSE I HAD AN ABDOMINAL NERVE TRAPPED IN MY SCAR'S.
I TOO HAVE BEEN SAYING I WANT MY LIFE BACK AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DAY TO
WAKE UP AND HAVE NO PAIN. I WISH YOU LUCK AND HOPE THAT THE PAIN
CONSULTANT CAN AT LEAST GIVE YOU SOME HOPE.
REGARDS VIV
