I'm not sure were to start. About a year ago I started to have pain in my abdomin come to find out it was caused by my adhesions. I went to many specialists ended up in the emergency room many times because the pain was so bad only to be turned away and told nothing was wrong with me and that adhesions did not hurt.

I found a great Dr that wanted to help and sent me to a surgent that did laproscopic surgery on my adhesions in January they sent me home with in an hour after surgery and I almost hemredged to deth causing more compications. I spent a week in critical care. I was told that my bladder overy is connected to my uterous and my uterous is connected to my back. When I got home I was pain free for only two weeks. I was also told that since I did hemrege the blood made the adhesions readhere.

They told me that they could try surgery again and do the more compicated surgery and cut me from belly button down then put a film between my orgins but there would be no gaurantee that it would work. At this point I can't do another surgery I have two small children and after coming minutes from dieing the thought scares me to death.

The Dr that I started out with put me back on the pain medications that actualy do help ease the pain and get me through the day. The doctors no longer want me on the pain medication and sent me to a pain clinic yesturday. I thought that maybe this would work. I was told they would do something called pain maping and inject some kind of numbing medication into my abdomin. When I got there the nurse put in an IV so I would be able to be sudated the thought of someone touching my somach puts me into panic mode. The doctor came in and told me that he wasnt going to do the procedure and he wanted to put me on a sezure medication. I told him that I have been on sezure medications before and I had every bad side effects. I was unable to do the most simple tasks. He then told me I would be fine and not to worry.

I held back the tears until he walked out the door. I went into this thinking I wouldnt have any expectations and I guess I did. If they can't get rid of my pain why can't they just let me take the medication that works. I am so tired.
