Hi Melissa, Just responding to your post regarding adbonimal pain
following your hysterectomy. A great % of people develop adhesions
following surgery. Some go undetected & never experience any symptoms
at all. Unforunately a small % develop massive problems & I hope that
you do not fall into this group. Adhesion suffers always have test
results come back normal & the only way to diagnose adhesions is via a
laprascope. Adhesion pain is undiscriable,with no medication really
taking the pain away. If your pain continues please consult your
Gyn/obs as they should be able to help you. I do hope that your pain
does not return. Please keep me informed. Annie
