Hope for pain

I never heard of adhesions until yesterday. My wife has had chronic
pain for 4 months that has completley paralyzed our lives. I have not
been able to work and she has just sunk farther and farther into
depression, hoplessness, etc. It has been the most horrible expeirience
of my life. Yesterday she went in for a labroscopy to look for
endometrosis. While the OBGYN was in there, they found an adhesion on
the stomach and the large intestine. Exactly where she complained of
the pain. They took it out and she is recomvering from that pain but
has not had her normal pain for the last 24 hours, no nausea and no
diareahea as she has had every day for the last 4 months.
I am wondering, my OBGYN seemed to indicate to me, our problem is solved
and we can go on with our life. As I have read around on this website,
it seems like it is more serious issue to treat and to deal with. I am
confused. Is my doctor not that up on this ailment. Do I need to learn
more. Will this continue to effect her.
