Dear Jen Yes, they make you have test, after test, after test! I had one Dr say that I had every test there was, so there was nothing more they could do. In my tests, they found 3 polops in my intestins & they found that my intestins had shut down. Once when they did a sonogram they had a hard time finding my ovary, I personally think it was because of all the adhesions, but a dr told me that sometimes they are hard to find. Of course, this goes back to over 7 yrs ago because I had a hysterectomy in 95. I am happy there are no more tests to be done, I was really tired of them all, and had already decided that I wouldnt have any more tests done. The tests are done to see if there is something else going on. Sometimes, if the Dr doesnt believe adhesions cause pain, they look for other reasons for the pain. There is still no test for adhesions. Hopefully one day there will be a test to prove it isn't all in our heads. robin
