At my wits end

I hope there is someone out there that can relate. I originally found
out about my adhesions when I went in for a hysterectomy (due to chronic
abdominal pain). My small intestine was stuck to my lower abdominal
wall. They had to do a resection prior to the hysterectomy. 8 months
later, had a laparatomy for adhesion lysis. That was this past January.
By March I was in severe pain again and off work for the third time in
18 months.
I have not returned to work yet and don't know what to do at
this point. The surgeon won't do another operation until I end up
obstructed. My primary care doctor thinks it's all in my head and wants
me to see a shrink. He said in his entire practice he has not had
anyone out on disability for adhesions. I have no idea what else to do
or where to turn. Does anyone share my situation?
