> All I can say is,,, like any Doctor, some do believe in Adhesions, some
> on the other hand can't seem to accept that they even exist!!!! I have
> so many surgeries over the past few years for Adhesions alone,,, then I
> go to this pain management Dr. for him to tell me " Your pain is NOT
> from Adhesions,,, no your pain is muscular" so we will send you to
> physical therapy for a few weeks then we will do this "trigger point
> injections" into your abdomen!!!! Sounds fun huh?
> Instead of prescribing me the pain meds I would normally take and have a
> good response with, he decides to use me as a test subject and prescribe
> something new that landed me in the hospital fighting for my life due to
> having a severe reaction to this medication!!!

> For whatever reason, this pain management Doctor refuses to accept that
> my problem is "Adhesion" related! He seems to think my problem is simply
> muscular!!! He refused to look at the surgical pictures of my Adhesions,
> and also refused to look over the report from my surgeon,,, who was the
> one that sent me there in the first place!!!! So after a few weeks of
> doing physical therapy and not having a single bowel movement in 14 days
> and even becoming distended, this Dr. { quack } went ahead with the
> "trigger point injections" and medication that caused me even more
> problems than what I was already dealing with!!!
>
> Everything from severe itching head to toe to swollen eyes redness in
> the eyes, to difficulty breathing and even a severe color change in my
> flesh!!! When I called this clinic and Dr. up to tell them of the
> symptoms,,, their response was, " well what do you want us to do about
> it"????
>
> It is in your best interest, to find out prior to any treatments, if the
> attending Dr. believes in Adhesions or not!!! If he does not believe in
> Adhesions causing you pain,,, I suggest you pick up all your belongings
> immediately and walk your happy little behind right out of that jerks
> office before that Dr. does to you what was done to me.

> I only just came home from the hospital this morning, although I am
> still having some effects of the reaction, I do feel a lot better than I
> did going in so I guess that is a plus!!! And the fact that I am still
> alive is another plus I guess!??! lol
>
> Like anything, including Doctor's,,,,,, if your not comfortable,,,,,
> trust your instincts,,, their usually right!!! I only wished I had
> listen to insides,,, but I thought if I didn't comply ,,, that I would
> end up without any Dr.'s help at all!!!! Boy was I ever wrong!!! Thank
> goodness my surgeon is a tremendously great Dr. and does listen, when
> he found out what was going on,,, he has insisted I do not return to
> this pain management clinic ever again!!!! But the down side to this
> incident,,, is now I am facing surgery again due to the blockage and I
> just had surgery 3 months ago,,,, and here we go again!!!!!
