My experience with adhesions and my successful outcome with surgery by Dr. Redan in Celebration, Florida was just posted. I can't say enough about Dr. Redan and the CAPPS program and encourage anyone suffering with adhesions to consult with him. Suzanne

I have them from the lowest pelvic area to the top of abdomen. I got a pain pump placed in June but am still having some problems. I have a lot of chronic pain 24/7 with partial obstructions but I keep moving most of the time. I am not going to give in to this. Please stretch and move. I feel like just going to bed most of the time myself. I don't even think pain med. helps at this point. Good luck to you and God Bless.

Hi- I haven't written in a while, but I have been suffering with abdominal
adhesions for almost 40 years. I've been told I have a rare case as they
continue to grow from my pelvis all the way up into my chest cavity. I am
on Dauladid for pain and even with this medication, I am still in severe
chronic pain. I live in the Denver area. Can anyone please give me the
names and areas of some drs. who specialize in adhesions in the US? I know
about the Dr. in PA. I don't know if I would even be a good candinate for
this surgery. I have had 2 bowel obstructions, the first one happened 3
days after an adhesion surgery. They grew back that quickly! I had a
barrier used during an adhesion surgery years ago, but the adhesions broke
through the barrier with a vengence. I went to a physical therapist
yesterday that my Dr. sent me to, but she doesn't even want to touch my
abdomen after examining me, as my adhesions are so widespread and deep.
>From time to time I have chest pain now, as the adhesions are continuing to
grow upward. The PT was concerned that the adhesions might eventually wrap
around my lungs, as they have already done with my other organs. Does
anyone else out there have adhesions as wide spread as I do? What are you
doing for the pain? I am at the point all I can do is lie down with a
heating pad. Thank you for all of your responses. I pray blessings over
each one of you who are suffering with adhesions. It is a horrible
condition in which many of our Drs. are not knowleable about. Thank you
very much. Linda Suhr
