Adhesions

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.

Thanks,

Bonny
