Jenny,Welcome to the forum.I agree with Sandie .You have to be persistant and if they will not listen then you really have to find someone who will.This will probably be a tough thing to do,Because there are a lot of Drs. that do not believe that adhesions can be the cause of pelvic pain.I wish you luck in finding a good Dr. and again welcome to the forum."FRIENDS THAT STICK TOGETHER" PEGGY
