<< I thought adhesions only grew the firtst 7 days after surgery?? >>
They start within 3 to 5 days post op. Then they can keep growing for years.
<< Do they multiply or continue to grow??>>
They can.

No.
<< How then do they obstruct a bowel or continue to weave themselves among other organs??>>
They can constrict around a portion of the bowel and as they shrink/grow, obstruction occurs.
<<They sound alot like endometreosis??>>
Hmmm I don't have endo but as I understand it, endo is when (uterine) tissue grows where it isn't supposed to. Adhesions are sort of like that, I believe.
Hope you have a very good, pain-free weekend!!
