I am 36 years old and just recently started researching about adhesions online. I had no idea that so many people suffer from this problem. I have been living with this pain for over 10 years now. I am very interested to know if this is something that might work for me.

Kim, I'm in the same situation you are.  I've recently
been diagnosed with adhesions after I had surgery to
remove my gallbladder, which was where after numerous
tests, the doctors decided my pain was coming from.
Needless to say, they removed my perfectly normal
gallbladder but found adhesions while doing so.
I've neen in severe pain for 3 months now due to
these things.  Something I've found that actually
helps the pain better than all the pain meds
they've given me is Excedrine.  Maybe they will
hellp you also.  I only take the pain meds a night
now so I can get a few hours of sleep.  Because
of the pain, I only manage a few hours of sleep
as it wakes me up. Today my doctor told me there
is really nothing more they can do for me.

I have adhesions on my liver and she seems to think no surgeon will take the chance of operating on them as she thinks it's too risky. I'm very frustrated at this point as I don't feel I can deal with this pain much longer. I'm trying to find a physician that knows something about these things but I keep running into walls. I wish you the best of luck and if I find something, I'll come back and post here. Carol
