Dear shelia,
Reading your post was like reading about
myself. I see my surgeon tomorrow to see if she will do a
lap and try to lysis these adhesions. i know more might
form but right now i dont have a good quality of life. I
take pain pills from the time i go to bed until the time
i wake up. I vaccumed today and after a few minutes i was
in so much pain i was bent over. Just to walk a little bit
is painful. I had to quit my job and just to do about any-
thing is painful. To have a Bowelmovement is painful and my
stomache boats everyday and looks like im about 9 months
pregnant. Some days are better then others. So i see
it as go in , cut the adhesions and at least give me some
pain relief for awhile. I also feel so bad that my husband
has to do most of the work around the house and with the
kids. Even tho im in pain i get up and try to do somethings
around the house and with the kids. My hubby fusses at me
and makes me sit back down becuase he doesnt want to see me
hurting worse. I sometimes think that maybe the adhesions
were my fault because my last doctor told me that the reason
i had adhesions was becuase i got up and tried to do too
much after the surgery and didnt give my body enough time
to heal. But after reading everyones post it seems like
no matter what we do etc we are going to get adhesions. The
doctor had me thinking it was all my fault.
About the itching with the pain meds. I take two 25mgs of
benadryl when i take my pain meds and that helps alot with
the itching. I had a really good ER doctor recommend it to
me and it works. If i dont take the benadryl then I itch
like crazy. Even if you take the pain meds and start
itching later, take the benadryl and it will stop the
itching. I hope it helps.
