I asked my gastro doctor why this one was so painful and he said he did not have an answer for that. He said it was hard getting around the curves in the intestines and that made me believe my adhesions are giving me a problem again. I had a blocked intestine in 1993 and had to have surgery to relieve the pain as it had tied a knock in my intestines and destroyed my right ovary. It is really scary as I do not want this to happen again. I know there is nothing that can be done for adhesions other than cutting them out. I don't believe you are a wimp! This really hurts! Josie
