OK, I have had 7 surgeries for adhesions and their related problems.
Since I had my gallbladder removed my last surgery due to the adhesions
completely encasing it, I am assuming the right sided rib and back pain
is due to the adhesions. From reading everyone's posts, the stories are
so similiar. Let me switch gears here for a minute, I also have
migraines and was put on an anti-siezure medication and as I was to
increase the medicine is when I remembered, that my legs started hurting
and tingleing. I called the neurologist and sure enough that is a
severe side effect of the medication. I had already started decreasing
the medication and after talking with the doctor, I have tapered off the
medication. Do you believe my legs already feel better? I am so happy.
Now if I could just find a way to rid us of our adhesion pain I would be
the happiest person in the world! We have such a difficult disease
because we cannot see it, but we sure can feel it. When you're in pain
you can get depressed, we are on medications, we usually have other
medical problems, there is only one sure thing, the place I come to feel
accepted, to listen, to cry, and to hope that one day we will be pain
free. With Love, Sherry
