Thanks for sharing with us, I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing so much pain and other symptoms. What we all have to do when we are in your shoes is follow what feels right in our hearts.
There are risks to be considered with surgery, and only you know how unbearable your symptoms are. When it gets to the place where we cannot manage the pain/symptoms of adhesions, surgery may be the best option. Still, we can't just run into any surgeon's operating room.
It is important to research your disease and all of your options to find out what's right for you.
Hugs,
Janet
