Dear Jo, Thank you so much for replying to my message.You made me feel like I was not alone. I have slowly been researching and it is hard to find answers related to adhesions from a c-section. I wasn't even sure if they were adhesions. One doctor told me that the powder from the surgeons gloves can be irritating. But after 5 years? And the pain is quite a bit more than irritating! It seemed silly. So I forgot about it and learned to live with the pain for awhile. But it has gotten more severe as time goes on. I will be persistant and try to find out as much as possible before I make any decisions. Thanks for your comfort.
