Though I have never had prior surgeory as you have...I
developed an adhesion from intestine to ovary. My
pain was exactly as yours in the begining.
Eventually...due to blockage...nausea and vomiting
also became an issue after the 6th month into the
pain, lightheaded to dizzy, and many problems with
digestion. Pay attention to your symptoms and don't
ignore them. The possibility of adhesions is
definitely there due to your doctors dumb mistake of
nicking you bladder...and just because you had
surgeory. You should have it checked, if adhesions
are the problem they can lead to complete bowel
obstruction....and unfortunatley, the only way to
determine adhesions is through laprascopy. I wish you
luck in health.
