Dear Amanda, I have taken anti-inflamitories before, along with pain meds. I am currently off them because the type I was taking, Equgesic was costing me a co pay of $40. a month, and it contained asprin in it and I am scheduled to have surgery soon and don't need/want any thing that will cause bleeding. Asking for pain meds can be hard, but remember you are in pain and need it. My last PCP accused me of seeking drugs, not being in pain and being addicted to pain meds and needing to go to detox. That was the last time I went to that clinic where I had been going for 15 years. The next week, I went to a different DR, who doubled my pain meds because she knew and understood that adhesions do cause pain and thought I was being under medicated. If your DR wont prescibe pain meds, look for another DR that understands the pain that adhesions cause. good luck robin M
