Dear Barbara<
It does seem you are an adhesion former as of your last surgery. This
pain is different from that that alerted you before to something being
wrong??
I ask you look under related conditions on the home page of this site
and perhaps invesitgate about vulvodynia. Do keep in mind as well your
old adhesions may have reformed and brought new ones along to keep them
company,hence a new set of problems.
There are great links about vaginal pain like you discribe under the
condition vulvodynia. Millie brought up a good point as well, a
cystocele or rectocele. I know that women often push manually through
their vagina to help move feces when faced with these problems.
Keep on educating yourself and find out what is similar to what is going
on with you. I am not any type of expert on any thing but I know if you
go armed and educated to your doctors they are better able to help you
and you are better able to help yourself. Please do see your doctor
about this though it may be hard to talk about.
Remember you are not alone and we are all here for you. Perhaps you
will be able to help another as you research about these conditions. I
have not seen postings from someone who suffers from vaginal pain such
as you discribe. Keep posting and let us know how you are and if we can
be of service.
Warmest wishes,
Dawn
