Hi, I'm new to these boards. I have been under the care of a Pain
Specialist M.D. since 1995 for severe pain from pelvic adhesions. I
had an appointment to schedule surgery to remove the adhesions with Dr.
Arnold Kresch (Dr. Wiseman's surgeon). Unfortunately, the appointment
was canceled and he later passed away. Dr. Kresch was my last hope. I
have tried everything that me and my pain specialist knew of;
accupuncture, TENS, Biofeedback, nerve blocks, trigger point injections,
etc. etc. Nothing worked. I had been under the care of Dr. Dorothy
Waddell, a pain specialist here in San Francisco. I was on drug
therapy, (anti-depressants and anti-seizure drugs as well as narcotics
to keep the pain in check. However, a month ago, Dr. Waddell also
passed away. I am in a state of shock and experiencing severe stress,
which only jacks up my pain level. I have no idea who my next dr. will
be. I will be out of meds in less than 2 weeks. Can anyone help me?
Does anyone know of any surgeons, or Pain Specialists, ideally
experienced in pain from adhesions, in Northern California, that might
help me? I live in San Francisco specifically. Thank you. Terrie
