Thanks Cheryl, education is tantamount! Check out http://www.sages.org. Great
site for a listing of doctors that deal in this area (somewhat) It is a
national listing site, check it out. Adhesions suck to put it bluntly- I
personally have had 6 surgeries and even one of the docs in Scranton which
did actually speak to me nicely said some very informative things. There are
no guarantees with any surgery and everyone is different. I have yet to find
true relief, but I will never stop trying. I am hoping to comprise a list of
questions that everyone can use when they meet with a new doctor regarding
our conditions. Many times we forget to ask important questions while we are
there due to our pain and frustration. Maybe if we go prepared it will be
better for us and our doctors all around. If anyone would like to add a
question to my "doctor worksheet" PLEASE feel free to email me with them. We
must all stick together and help one another whenever we can. Information is
power and the more we can get the more we can help ourselves and have the
docs help us too. Hang tough, thanks for no hate mail. Feel free to keep in
touch at any time!
