Hi Alison,

You are right about aussie doctors being reluctant to deal with adhesions! Aren't we lucky we have medicare etc here in good 'ole Oz.....

Can't help you with the question about the nerve....but I would get some other opinions. If I remember from your earlier post you said you lived in Sydney? Try the Royal Women's Hospital in Randwick....the endo/gyno clinic is run by Prof. Vancaillie.

Cheers mate, hope that helps. Jo :-)
