I am a 47 year old female in pain everyday of my life since February
2000. I underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix (ruptured 4
days prior to my surgery). In October of the same year, I had a bowel
resection. In May of 2001 I had a triple hernia repair and in July 2002
I had a hysterectomy. During each of the procedures I had lysis of
adhesions. My last surgery lasted 3 hours, 2 of the 3 hours were
devoted to lysis of adhesions. I live in constant pain. It doesn't
matter what I eat or how much I eat, after I eat, I hurt. I hurt when I
lay down to sleep, I hurt when I laugh, I can't wear certain clothes.
Point is, I can't do anything without pain and discomfort. Anyone out
there have any suggestions? I have an appointment scheduled with my
surgeon on April 19, I do not want to undergo another surgical procedure
and doubt that he would open me up again for adhesions. Help!!!
