Could be adhesions. Their is a very good adhesion Doc in Pa. If you can go there. It's Clark Gerhart. Go to clarkgerhart.com and email him. It won't hurt to at least let him know what's going on. Good Luck Marlene ________________________________________ Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:07:53 -0500 ________________________________________ From: carynlruzich@comcast.net To: adhesions@mail.obgyn.net Subject: Re: FW: looking for help Absolutely, adhesions are the most likely culprits.
