i did not know there was any one else out there taht had the same
problem that i did.i live in oklahoma and have had 10 surgeys for
adhesions in the last 10 years.as i have got older (43) it seems to have
slowed some.here is whAT I AM dealing with.i had car wreck may 2002.i
had stopped for road work when a 80 year old man with one eye and could
not hardley walk rear ended me and did not touch his brakes until he was
30feet from me.i had my 21 year old daughter with me.she was sore but it
blew out my back and in results i have had 4 screws and two rods put in
my back and last july they took them out.i am in pain 24/7.i went to the
doctor to see why i was getting so much worse so fast.i have been told
in the past that the adhesions i have grow faster than most and that
there is nothing they can do to stop this and to go back in will only
cause more to grow.the pain only gets worse by the week.i am on strong
pain meds witch only makes my bowels slow down more and i have took them
for 18 months and they do not help anymore.to have the pelvic ones was
bad but having them in many places is really bad.i have been looking for
info off and on for years and this is the first web site in the us i
have found.if there is any thing out there now it would not do me any
good because ever thing i have is now and i can not get on any kind of
gov. help because they say i can work.i worked all my life and paid in
but now they tell me thas to bad.i am only 43 and know i am in store for
more surgey on my bowels but without any coverage i will have to wait
for my bowels to block and they will be forced to do something.i do not
know about anyone else but after awhile it will drive you crazy.i hate
to think that at 43 i will have along time to feel the pain i do.does
people not understand that not only does hurt the person but my family
also suffers right along with me.i have a 6 yeard old granson that tells
me someday i will be better and we can do things together someday.it is
not right that after i worked all the years that i have i will have to
ask my kids to take care of me.i know how hard it was for me to take
care of my kids by myself and i wonder how hard it would have been to
have to take care of someone like me at their age if there is any one
that knows of any thing please let me know. thanks terri
