Hi Barbara~

I am so sorry this is flaring up on you a bit again. I hope I can help you hear since I am a sufferer in those areas as well. I ultimatley had to have my lower right ureter cut out and redirected and implanted into the top part of my bladder called a Bioari Flap.

I used a team of Dr.'s in Atlanta who where wonderful and I believe that might have even trained some of the CEC Dr.'s overtime. They dissected that right ureter, culd-e-sac regions, right tube and ovary gone and bowel too. They did it the least minimally invasive way which was via laparoscope. It produced the same symptoms within a few months like your having. I was told at the time it was all the healing going on from all the work that was done. I have to believe that for you right now as well because November wasn't that far off. I sure hope so. I truly do.

For me within 2 years I could tell it was adhered again and I had it looked at by another specialist in Memphis but this time done via laparotomy. We used 6 months prior to any surgery to use Synarel to shut things back down. He did a dissection and excision and really got into those other hidden areas that the scope didn't get. My ureter was severely adhered again so I had to get back home to my Urologist here who is a chief of urology at a University Hospital who deals with cancer patients and together the Dr. in Memphis and he came up with a plan to redirect that ureter. It couldn't hold anymore work on it. It was going right back to the same place it was adhering and that was after using Intercede to help protect against adhering.

I would say if you can try to give your body at least until the fall to see how it does again. I know I started to feel good that first time after 6 months. I didn't feel the problems again until that 2nd year hit. I hope these words are comforting to you. They have to do so much that sometimes it can feel like a delay like phantom pains (which I know it's not) but some how out of no where it creeps right back and can scare us when it's our bodies way of trying to balance out from all the trauma of surgery.

Please keep me posted and I am always happy to email you and help you anyway I can. OK? Hang in there!

Thinking of you always...
