Hi! I have through 2 laparoti\omies and one laparoxcopy in 6 months, I am afraid to let dr. know how much pain I am in again, he was so happy with my exam last week, but I felt okay that particular day. As the day goes on the pain gets worse, and I know his words were to me that "There are no guarentees with adhesions'. But with the last surgery he had pulled colon up out of pelvis, things were making me worry about something happening to my bowel, am I crazy? I can feel the adhesions are back, for 3 years they did not bother me. It gets to the point where I cannot even touch abdomenal area, VERY TENDER!!!!!!!!! I have had nothing for pain, and I feel I am going to go crazy, I am tired of complaining to my family even, what to do? Toni Welsh welsh@mail.fuse.net.

I am contemplating more surgery now due to this same trouble,
I had pelvic pain and leg pain too!  I went in and the dr.
did a lap. but told my husband when he got in there he can
not see my last ovary, he did a laparotomy, untwisted the
bowel, was full of adhesions, and removed last ovary, it was
stuck to abdominal wall, he said he had to literally pull it
off,  I had no pain for 3 weeks, GREAT!!!  But after 4 weeks
the pain was back worse than before the surgery, I can not
stand it, I called him yesterday to go thru another lap.
He said that is all he could do, abd hopefully the laser would
help the adhesions not grow back,but it is interfering in my life.
There are times when I cannot even get up, or sit or bend.
The pain is awful, but it is in lower pelvic area where my
bowel he straightened, is and goes down to my legs. I am
looking for HELP!!!!!   Can not stand the pain!
