I have been stuggling with adhesions now for almost three years. My
last adhesolysis was in August 2001. They were back in full force three
weeks post-op. My doctor doesn't want to do another surgery. He knows
this will only make things worse. I am to the point that I cannot eat
or drink without severe pain. I have lost four pounds in two weeks. My
doctor is serching for any kind of help he can find for me. We are both
lost as to a solution. My bowels are compromised and I am at risk for
an obstruction. Any help would be appreciated. I have done extensive
research on adhesions. I have also learned about a doctor in Germany
and a new adhesion barrier available only in Europe. I am amazed at the
number of people who suffer from ARD. Please tell me there is hope.
Right now I feel like a prisoner to my pain. I live in Hot Springs,
Arkansas. I have the best surgeon, he really understands. Thanks.
