I keep hoping that someone can give me some hope as to treating adhesions- they really do cause awful problems. But this paper by Dr. K is not the proof I (or anybody else in the medical community) is looking for. This study, which outlines one patient's treatment, is called a "case report" and is not even publishable in medical journals. That's why when you search on pubmed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi) you don't see the article. This search engine (which used to be only available in medical center libraries) searches most known medical literature in every language known in just about every science/medical journal published. You can even narrow your search to studies only on humans or only in English. My suspicion is that the only way this paper even got posted anywhere is as an advertisement for Spraygel. After all, it is on their website. Again, you need clinical evidence that your treatment was better than "nothing" or placebo. And as crazy as that sounds, in every medical trial I have ever seen a certain number of people respond to placebo (placebo=NOTHING). I geuss it goes to show the healing power of the mind.

As to the person who responded with her long history of pain and suffering, let me explain myself. I didn't say no one should be on narcotics and no one is disabled from adhesions- I have tried and successfully gotten disability for a patient with adhesions. And I routinely prescribe narcotics for pain. I was just pointing out the abundance of messages on this forum that dealt with those two topics and the almost "how-to" nature of many of them. I assure you that being addicted to narcotics does NOT help adhesions or the pain they cause.
