THE ONLY WAY I FOUND ABOUT ABOUT ADHESIONS WAS BECAUSE MY PAIN CAME BACK ON THE RIGHT SIDE AFTER I HAD OVARY AND TUBE REMOVED. OB DOC SAID IT MUST BE GASTRO INTESTINAL RELATED. WHEN I CONFERRED WITH MY G.I. DOC HE EXPLAINED TO BE ABOUT ADHESIONS. HAD BLOOD WORK AND URINE WORK DONE. ALL CAME BACK NORMAL. THAT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO RESEARCH ADHESIONS AND FOUND WEB SITE AND MESSAGE BOARD. IT HAS HELPED ME TO GET THE MESSAGE TO MY OB DOCTOR AND PERHAPS TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO OTHERS IN MY AREA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THOUGHT IT ALL IN MY HEAD. BUT WHEN DOUBLED OVER IN PAIN OR WOKEN UP FROM A DEAD SLEEP I PAIN. IT AIN'T IN YOUR HEAD. I AM GETTING HELP NOW, NOT ONLY WITH MEDS TOHELP PAIN BUT PERHAPS A SURGEON WHO WILL CONTROL THE PROBLEM AND NOT CONTRIBUTE TO IT. GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO SUFFER AS I DO.
