Dearest Megan,
I have had adhesions removed and they said now you will be fine and go on
your way.I thought they knew what they were talking about .But low and behold
6 weeks later my pain returned. I didn't know how adhesions worked until I
found this site and began to read and educate myself. I have had 8 surgeries
in 11 years removing this part and that part thinking it was something wrong
.I also had polycystic ovaries.Well I have nothing left to remove except the
plumbing necessity and they even removed a part of that.My last surgery was
in June 2001 and 6 weeks later my pain was back even after using Suprafilm.So
now I am in the hands of Pain Mangement on drugs to keep me functioning until
some miracle cure or forever. Surgery is not really the answer unless you
become totally obstructed and then I think there is the old nasogastric tube
trick with a wait and see if it will unkink itself .Adhesions sometimes don't
cause a problem until much later in life as yours presented itself .In my
case they present themselves very quickly. I feel for you I know you are very
young but adhesions unfortunately don't look for age either. I wish there was
an easy answer I could give you . But unfortunately there is none. It is best
to search for a PAin management team that will work to keep you comfortable.
Wishing you the best .If you have any further questions be glad to help if I
can.
