Hello, Phuti I have been suffering with adhesions for approx. 15 years. I was hopsitalized for 6 weeks in 2004 due to 2 bowel obstructions caused by my adhesions. My back was killing me. I thought that I had developed a kidney infection. All tests showed nothing. In december 2005 I was sent back to the hospital with a blockage and lower back pain. The prior week I was told that I had kidney stones. I believe that I had passed the stones the night before I entered the hospital because I was bleeding. They diagnosed me with a herniated disc - that's not what's bothering me!!! I went to my md yesterday for pain medicine since my pain has returned with a vengence. When I urinate, my left side feels like someone is stabbing me and then my lower back pain increases. I believe that my adhesions are attached to my bladder which somehow is affecting my kidneys. Oh, by the way, he wrote me a prescription for 15 tylenol w/ codeine - why don't these doctors hear us when we talk to them!!! I'm searching for a pain management dr. now. I'm going to a urologist, having another colonoscopy, and seeing my obgyn all in the next 2 weeks. Good luck to you and please let me know if you have any luck finding out what this back pain is.

I was diagnosed with adhesions in 2004, and since then I've been experiencing a terrible backache. does anyone out there have the same problem. could this be related to adhesions?
