I was out of work for over a year due to the pain from adhesions. It
has taken about two months for my current medication to be titrated, and
it is almost there, so I am looking for work! I am on opiod medication
for pain. I thought about more surgery, but I am not a believer since
the adhesions come back. No surgery can guarantee that adhesions will
not return. Good luck, and if you would like to speak further feel free
to write anytime.
