I am 43 yrs. old. I have been having this problem for over 3 yrs. My right ureter has bands of adhesions.

This has also caused multiple kidney stones. It took over 9 months to be diagnosed, first through a cystoscopy then with surgery. My last surgery was in Jan. 03. My doctor made a large incision on the right side, cleaned out the adhesions and wrapped fat and parts of my omentum around my ureter. There was a long and painful recovery process. I felt good for about 4 months! Then, the pain slowly returned. I am now on MS Contin and Vicodin and I am NOT pain free. I am now considering an implanted pain pump.

I have 3 children, my quality of life is miserable. If anyone can help me, I would certainly appreciate it! Please respond ASAP. Thank you, Deb
