Hello Jeanne I was told by a Surgen, that my OB doctor had referred me to, that I should try pain management, before I decide to have surgery.
Well I did and it has not really helped, I have read other e-mails that said it has helped them. They put me on extra strength Tylenol 500 mg every 6 hours, Tylenol pm at night, Vioxx, and Vitamin C. At this time the Tylenol is not working very well, I am still in a lot of pain even waking up during the night in pain. I am now getting ready to have Bowel surgery for the adhesion that have formed on my left side. I am hoping the surgery will work, so tired of being in pain. The surgent that is doing my surgery is a bowel specialist, the other surgent wasn't. Hope that your pain management works for you.
Take Care Carolyn

It been awhile since I have written since I have been trying to do something about these adhesions.
