My pain was back 7 days after surgery I am back on my pain meds.I am
working on finances to go to Germany. Unfortunately my insurance has
told me they would not cover so Ihave to fight it out on my own. I saw
someone asked about the long thin spagetti like BM's. Well if your
bowels are stuck like mine it looks like a grape vine of small
intestines attached to the top of my abdominal cavity in about 10
different places. My adhesions are mostly in my small intestines. So
imagine your food going through all those tangled up areas and ask me
why I moan in pain so.I have still pictures of my last 2 surgeries for
to show the other docs I go see and I want them to tell me that
adhesions don't cause pain. No maybe the adhesion itself isn't the pain
buster but the way my intestines are attached you can't tell me that
food passing in those intestines pulling and tugging isn't painful. My
best regards to you Connie. But when You have been through what I have
and know what is happening to you by now and also have pictures to back
you up. I think I can manage to explain my case to the docs and know
that I want this treatment or that and have the right to refuse as a
patient. Lillian
