Toni, I really do not know what to say I suffer from adhesions and have lost alot, I thought having another surgery was the answer to my problem but did not understand what adhesions were now the pain has come back full force I thought the pain could not get worse well I was wrong but this time doctors can not even give me pain medication because I have problems with my colon the doctor said he is sure the adhesions are on colon and everywhere else but surgery is not the answer for me and that even if they can control the pain I still will have pain I am 26 years old and suffer daily that is really depressing and I hate myself for having a second surgery. I think it is good that you are brave enough to have another surgery because I do not think I could go though another with knowing that the pain can come back worse then before, I know this does not help but you are not alone.

ny one who ha ssurgery has adheisons, but depending on where they >are and what they stick to the way I understand it, is where the pain is
