Unfortunatly it could very well be adhesions reformed. Jenny, it is very important to educate yourself about adhesion related disease as that is the only way you will protect yourself from now on from suffering many of the things and ARD patient does suffer! Not only pain and other associated symptoms caused by the adhesions, to educate yourself right now will arm you woth knowledge to deal with your medical care provider and know what you need and don't need in ares of medications, medical doagnistic tests and what results should be, being sent from DR. to DR. etc....

Please ask Helen Dynda to send you information on ARD as that will be not only your weapon against poor medical intervention, it will allow you the oportunity to help yourself as with suffering ARD, YOU must be your own best DR!

Ask questions of those on this society as you will need to be an informed patient and this site and these people will definatly inform you!

Take care, Beverly
