I have suffered pain since the first surgery(TAH)right now I have alot of pain and the doctor said today that he was not able to move the ovary when he did a pelvic exam and said adhesions were the reason because he removed adhesions before.The doctor gave me alot of ifs, like they will try to do a lap, may have to remove my ovary,I think this is what is bothering ,no one knows for sure how bad it is, but the doctor I saw today did my last surgery and was against anymore surgery but today he said that now this is my only option, I understand that more surgery , more adhesions but there is also a chance that it might help and that is what I hope but I really do not want abdominal surgery but if I agree to the surgery then I take this risk. My last surgery I knew what was going on and what was going to happen but if I go though with this one I really know nothing because no one knows how bad the adhesions are.Thanks for answering and hope to hear from you soon
