Maybe you're right...one can only hope. This doc did say that he has had success treating pain similar to mine. He said if it was visceral pain, it could help with the sympathetic pain. But if the adhesions were attatched to the abdominal wall(which they are), I would not have relief from this type of pain.
I'm pretty sure that my pain is from the adhesions attatching to my abdominal wall, but at the same time, I don't want to be close-minded and pass up the opportunity to get some relief if this is a possibility.
Thank you as always for your kind words, your friendship and support.
Love,
Janet
