Hello. I am new to this site, but I am not new to adhesions. I had my
uterus and one ovary removed in 1998. In 2001, I had surgery to remove
the remaining ovary. It was discovered that the ovary, sigmoid colon
and Ileac artery were adheded together. It took 4 surgeons 3 1/2-hours
to remove as many of the adhesions as they could and to reach the ovary.
They were never able to find my left uterer and it remains buried under
adhesions. I has 1 1/2 years since the second surgery and I really
don't have much of a life. I am in constant pain. They told me at that
time that I could never have abdominal suregery again, unless it was an
emergency and that I would have to learn to live with the pain.
Sometimes it feels like I am slowly being crushed to death. It hurts if
I go to the bathroom and it hurts if I don't. I guess that I'm looking
for companionship in this and any advice from other people in my
situation.
