My story also.But lot's more.I had surgery 11 years ago by my GYN for
female problems. As he found, when he had my abdoman open he was astounded
to find, me massively covered with adhesions. He said he could not leave
me in that condition, so he choise to remove them. He worked for hours and
removed a massive amount from me. But rather waking to terrible pain like
they
said I should,I felt great. That say's it all when you've just had such and
invasive procedure.
I was fortunate to find a Dr. who knew what to do for me when
it came back in less than a year. The Phy.Theropist who helped me used only
a slight pressure on many places on my body,this melted the adhesions back
to
their original state. My first visit to her I could barely stand errect. I
was
not aware the adhesions were back. Within the first week I felt wonderfull.
The treatment is 6 weeks with maintenace every 6 months. Some that say they
can
do this but I have yet to find one to do the same. I had my treatment at
Womans
Hospital Physical Theraphy, by Dr Susan G.I had to move away 5 years ago and
found no one to help me with the pain. I find myself almost as bad as
before.
This site has made me realise that this is not over and I must have the
treat-
ment.

scheduling another
appointment with him; because his inappropriate response caused me to lose
