hey guys,
i have the same problem with scarring and adhesions too.anytime they
hook up an iv line to me which it usually takes at least 5 tries the
line blows usually,i get scars and it takes at least 6 months to clear
up.every lap i have produces such scarring plus i have had extensive
abdominal surgeries and am facing hysterectomy on saturday.i think a
lot of my problem is a blood disorder where my clotting factor is
missing.i am just hoping that the hyst.doesnt cause any more
issues.wishing everyone painfree day and nights
