Unnessary Surgeries & Chronic Pain & Scar Tissue

Since 1992 till 2000 I have had about 17 surgeries. Over 3/4's of them
were unnessary. For many years now I have been existing in a nightmare
of chronic pain, caused by all these surgeries. My doctors "THINK" that
one of the reasons I have chronic pain is due to scar tissue &
adhesions. I have been poked & prodded. I've had more tests then you
can possibly imagine. I've had surgeries that starts with Tubal
Occlusion, to Tubal Reversal, Laparoscopys, Laparatomys, ectopic
pregnancies, hysterectomy (which I still have my right ovary and tube
left). I recently found out that I not only didn't need to go through
these unnessary surgeries, but that my hysterectomy could have been
avoided altogether. The anesthetic alone is very harmful. All of these
procedures have left me with emotional, mental & physical scars. I am
on a prescribed narcotic which is also causing me alot of problems. I
have tried to get off of them but it really does a number on my chronic
pain & I go through horrible withdrawl symptoms. Not only am I
suffering, but so have my two sons & husband & my family. It is very
hard for me to see my family see me this way. I use to be a happy go
lucky, go-getter type women. I now feel like a hollow, I wanted to say
women, but that is something I don't feel like. I am in the process of
going into a treatment centre & taking care of other legal matters. My
story could go on & on, but by the time I was finished you'd feel like
half your life had gone by. I do feel scared, alone, confused, and have
some anger issues to deal with because of the doctors & other issues.
I would welcome and greatly appreciate anyone's feedback and help on
this matter.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope and pray that we all
get the help and answers we need.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Bye for now,
