I also have painful intercourse, burns sometimes when i urinate and have pain near my rectum. I also suffer from fibromyalgia, arthrosis. I have 3 blood tests that could be related to rheumatic arthritis. I noticed that Melissa has the same diseases. I wonder if there are other persons here who suffer from the same, as well as adhesions? I live in Quebec and i think here the doctors are more precautions on the operations. I'm finally glad that the surgeon didn't operate in 2000, of course, i hurt but can wait.I take a lot of medication related to fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, arthrosis, 4 tylenol with codeine a day, colaces, flax seed oil, anti-depressant, flexeril and rivotril for the muscles, arthrotec for the arthrosis, lipidil-micro for the high cholesterol and tryglycerids, neurontin for the pain in fibromyalgia, estrogel for the ostrogens hormones. Of course, some people think i take too much medications but there not the one suffering. So, i don't mind them. I do what i have to do. I sympathize with all of you, understanding what you're going through. I know that one day, i'll probably have to be operated but meanwhile i try not to think about it. I drink a lot of water including mineral water which helps me with the digestion. In the morning and at night especially, i suffer a lot from the arthosis and fibro, my bones, my muscles aches a lot. I do small exercises to help myself,theworst are my heels which prevents me to walk for a long period. Sorry for being soo long and wish good luck to everyone who will undergo a surgery. I have an handicapped daughter who requires a lot of my help and i just wish that one day i won't be crippled too much by all these diseases. So has anyone tried Zelnorm? Thanks for reading me.
