Shawnna, Welcome to the board, and don't feel alone. I had a TAH 15 months ago, along with lysis of adhesions, but I KNOW they are back. A lot of us on here have been told that adhesions don't cause pain. Yes, they do, because for one thing, they 'glue' our organs together and pull them out of place. I had a pelvic/abdominal Ct, last June, which only showed some kind of thickening of the rectum, "possibly related to surgery." I am thinking of asking for another CT, but don't know if it would show anything, or not. I am not a medical professional, but too many surgeries are not the cure, but may make adhesions worsen. I wish I had the answer to feeling good, but I don't. Millie.
