I have taken pain pills on and off since Janurary but have gotten to a point that they do not do anything for me. At least not what I can take and be awake. I have 3 small children (almost 7 yrs.; 5 yrs.; and 2.5 years); so I really can not take something that will put me to sleep. Anyway... I have thought about going to a Pain Management Center but I didn't know if that would help or not. Or if I should try to give myself more time to heal from this last surgery. I DO NOT want more surgery unless it is just absolutely neccessary. Even my GYN said that she would not be doing any more surgeries. I just don't know what to do any more. I mentally am having a hard time dealing with it. I thought I was getting better till this past Tuesday and it just started all over again. I know everyone is tired of it because I sure am. I homeschool my children and being in pain all the time sure makes that hard. I really try to stay focused and try to stay happy but the pain just gets to me after a while. Anyway...I would love any advice you all have because I know I can not have any more surgries or what to anytime soon. So, anything that would help me learn to deal with this pain would help. Last question---Is this adhesion pain something that we just have to learn to live with? If so HOW??? I don't mean to be acting like a baby but I just want to get on with my life. Anyway.. thanks again to you all that replied and to you all for listening. It helps to have others that are in the same boat to talk too. :)
