8 yrs ago I had a tubal ligation which resulted in a preforated bowel &
peritonitis(sp?) I had pain & problems for several yrs after the surgery
due to adhesions. 7 weeks ago I started back with excruciating pelvic
pains & numerous tests later found nothing wrong-Dr is now suggesting
exploratory surgery & adhesion removal. I understand the risks-but am
not sure what else to do- I am on codene now which takes the edge off
but I cannot go thru what I have been thru the past 7 weeks - was in ER
a few times & out of work 7 days total. Would love to find a Dr locally
that deals with the adhesion barriers. All Dr's I have spoke to are
clueless about adhesions - I get more off the Internet than I do from
them. Can someone please give me some guidance- I don't know where else
to turn. Monday my Dr will be giving me the name of a surgeon but I
want to be fully armed with questions. Thanking you in advance for your
help!
