MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU! MY SITUATION IS SIMILIAR TO YOURS-ALL THE OPERATIONS AND NOW THE PAIN IN MY RIGHT RIB CAGE AND IN MY RIGHT LEG IS UNBEARABLE. I KNOW WHEN THE PAIN IS THIS BAD IN MY LEG THAT ITS JUST A MATTER OF WEEKS BEFORE MY URETER SHUTS DOWN-THE ADHESIONS FORM AROUND IT AND TWIST IT OFF! THUS, OPERATION NUMBER 10 IS WAITING FOR ME! I'M SO DEPRESSED. KEEP LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT DOCTOR TO HELP YOU. BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE I JUST HAVE TO CHECK INTO THE E.R. AND TAKE WHATS AVAILABLE!
