It's difficult to say. Everyone is so different. I see that people's pain often worsens and others who say theirs stays the same. Honestly, I have good days and bad days . . . it all just depends on you. That's one of the bad things about having adhesions . . . you just sort of wait and see. The unknown is terrible. It's been two years since my last adhesion surgery and if everything stays like it is right now I won't have another one. I've been able to manage keeping my pain levels at about 3 with only occasional spikes. Then again, I'm not dealing with the nausea, crampy pain like a lot of these folks are. Mine is more tightness, pulling, and "nervy" pain. Good luck.
