Hello! I know how you are feeling, I am so depressed about the pain I have had, I have had 2 laparotomies and 1 laparoscoy for adhesions this year, now after 8 weeks I am in constant pain, I worry about my bowel, he had some extensive surgery on the bowels in sept. now my dr. thinks the pain dies not make sense, I am afraid to call him, I see him dec.1st, he says he is at his wits end, doesnot know what to do cause surgery causes ade\hesions,, but sone thing has to help, I have tried Ultram and vicodin, and neither helps the pain from adhesions, the last laparotomy he said my pelvis was a puzzle the colon have all fallen into my pelvis, now all I worry about is that something could eventually happen to my bowels, this has been the most discouraging few months of my life. If ANYONE would like to e,ail me please do, I think the girls at the drs. office dont even want to hear from me, it is awful to feel like you cannot talk to your dr. and be honest with him, but I feel he has tried to help me, and still feel very highly of him.

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!
