Help.............
I've been away for a long time but now I have returned. I am seeking
advice and of course moral support. I just went thru my 11th surgery
for adhesions. It was outpatient with the laproscope and my Dr did not
remove any of the "ton" of adhesions that he saw. My pain is mostly
right-sided with some on the left. Problem is the Dr saw the "ton" on
the left and didn't see anything on the right. He states that my pain
cannot radiate that far...and he states that it will require a laprotomy
to remove the extensive adhesions on the left. Now I know from my pain
and experience what I am feeling is adheisons on the right. But before
he will do the Laprotomy he wants me to see a Gastro Dr and a Urologist
to rule out irrital bowel, etc , of which I have no symtoms. Only pain
meds I've been put on is Tylenol 3...which is doing nothing....just
curious if anyone out there knows of a good surgeon in Las Vegas? or
should I go ahead thru all the tests and more agonizing pain waiting to
find out. My quality of life now sucks and I am so ready to just hang
it all up....help
