I AGREE WITH SALLY. I GO TO A PAIN DOCTOR, AND TAKE OPIOID MEDICATIO FOR RELIEF OF WHAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE A MISERABLE EXISTENCE. IF SURGERY IS NOT FOR YOU, AND ALL OTHER OPTIONS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED, GIVE IT A TRY. I HAVE TAKEN MY LIFE BACK. I AM IN CONTROL MOST OF THE TIME, NOT THESE DAMN ADHESIONS! I BELIEVE HTE SITE SALLY IS REFERRING TO IS THE ASAPAIN.ORG WEBSITE. GOOD LUCK. EM
