That is one great question you posed ! I also would like to know if anyone is practically pain free from adhesions or adhesion surgery! That is a wonderful question that I have not heard anyone answer here. I would love to hear responses on that. We all hear the bad things and how great some of these doctors are, but what about us...and how do we feel and how do cope from surgery after surgery. I thank god I haven't had the numerous amount of surgeries that so many of you have had. I count my lucky stars everyday. I have severe pelvic pain, and the doctors all send us around from doctor to doctor thinking it's either an IBS problem, psychotic problem..are we depressed? That's always the question, we need to send you to a psychiatrist, we need to send you to a GI specialist or Internist, we need to send you to a Pain Specialist, ...how about let's deal with the real situation here. If there is so many of us suffering, then why can't we get some real help, and not just a few scarce doctors that want money up front, or those that we have to fly thousands of miles away to, to receive the help we truly need.
I would love answers to these questions. Sorry I am venting, right now I am being put through the ringer, even my PCP today asked me if I wanted to go back to the Internist, or if I was depressed. Emphatically I said NO NO NO, I am not depressed, but all this pain is getting me depressed, my new quote is this
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED AND BEATEN TO A PULP OVER A REAL PREVALENT PROBLEM !!
Thank you for letting me vent here, I appreciate it !! Sorry I had to finally have my say.
