Hi Qween-B again. Does anyone have an answer or gone through the same experience as I have?
Thanks again.

I can also relate. I have numerous adhesions from my appendectomy. Sometimes, the pain is bad enough that I almost think I still have an appendex. Surgery is the only way to get rid of adhesions. Unforutunatly. I opted out of that myslef.

I had pelvic adhesions from former c-sections, and kidney surgery. That is part of the reason I had my hysterectomy. Surgery is the only way to remove them. They will also adhere to your bowels and other organs. It can cause a lot of pain. Hope you feel better.

really since I was a kid I have had UTI's , as I grew up I did not have as many.. after I had a c-section I had a UTI (in the hospital). that was 24 years ago.. since then I have had many UTI's (as in AT LEAST 2 per year! AT THE MOST 6 TO 7 PER YEAR) Today I sit here in "Major" pain, I seriously right now am shaking, and to be blunt when NOT on the toilet I have to hold "myself" because it hurts ever so bad. It's hard to pee, even though I feel the urge to all the time, even after I go to the bathroom. Last night I was extremely sick to my stomach, my back hurts, legs ache my tummy is swollen, and OUCH I feel like I have to pee ALL THE TIME as I said,(VAGINA IS VERY DRY) and as stated when not in b/r it kills me. I had to sleep in other room last night because when the bed moves it hurts me more (my husband flip flops in bed) About a year ago I remember well a pain in my back that felt like razors, or shattered glass bits (t's happened before that and after as well, mostly when walking alot).. seems odd, yea? I am 45.. and cannot leave this bed from the pain, please help. I do not go to ER because I do NOT have any insurance, and without it they see me, but do not take me seriously... they will give me pills and send me on my way until the next time this happens.

Just a note.. I have epilepsy , and have had it since 8.. and been on meds since I was 15 (30 yrs.), if I drink it truly is maybe 1 drink a year. if that much.

I did become very dizzy the other day.. and sort of am dizzy, not totally with it now.. (head swimming from pain) this pain has to go away.. I cannot deal w/ it. Please help, PLEASE I cannot live with this pain!
surgerys- exploratory , removal of ovarian cysts & appendix, c-section, hystorcetomy first time they left 1 ovary.. years later they had to remove that ovary as well

I also had a hysterectomy and had severe lower abdominal pains. I went through so many tests and they finally opened me up. The doctor spent 4 hours cutting away adhesions that were wrapped around my bowels and other organs. The adhesions are like vines that wrap and pull on the organs and that's where the severe pain was coming from. They will grow back, but hopefully a little slower this time. I don't want to have to go through that type of surgery again. It took me a long time to recover.

i just had an abdominal hysterectomy three weeks to the day today. if anyone is reading this, i will tell you that i was not prepared for such a intense recovery because i had two c-sections and they were nothing compared to this. i am a 47-year old female, totally healthy and in good shape. if you do the slightest bit of work, you will RELAPSE to the same pain as you had in the first week, so be careful!! i also had adhesions, which were really my problem but that pain was masked by the pill for years. i thought it was my uterus with fibroid that was the problem, but they were actually SMALL. i had "extensive adhesions" more than anything else. also my bladder was pulled forward for 17years when i last gave birth to my son, from the dr. nicking my bladder and had a stent in it. it was "tucked back in" and now i feel like i am young again due to the ability to maintain alot more liquid in my bladder. and as a result i am now drinking water which i never did, thus i am not as hungry, thus i've lost 10 pounds.
IF YOU HAD ADHESIONS PLUS HYSTERECTOMY, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO RECOVER AS SOON. DON'T GET UPSET OR CONCERNED. when they remove the adhesions you get "scraped" and then you have additional organs swollen. TAKE MIRALAX EVERYDAY IN WATER AND THAT WILL SOFTEN YOUR BOWELS SO IT WON'T BE SO PAINFUL WHEN YOU have to go to the bathroom. this will also keep your system empty , thus you will feel better. MIRALAX has no taste and no texture. it disappers in water and is truely a MIRACLE!! i hope this helped someone out there. if you even think for a second you will be returning to work in less than 6 weeks, THINK AGAIN...you will have a setback and it will be harder to recoup. i went out one time to dinner and had a whole day's setback. even when sitting too long you are stretching your stomach muscles. you need to LAY DOWN to heal. anyway, enough for now. good luck.

i had my surgery done by an oncologist/gynecologist. i advise ANYONE who thinks they may have adhesions BEFORE they have their hysterectomny due to previous c-sections to go to this kind of dr. they are experts and if they nick a bladder they can repair it, if they nick your bowel, they can repair it. THERE IS A GEL that they used to prevent future adhesions..so i will prob. be OK for atleast ten years. these dr's are the best ones to have the surgery with. they truely know their stuff. you do not have to have cancer to go to them, they will do your hysterectomy anyway. if you go to a reg. ob/gyne and something happens like it happened to me during my second c-section, he nicked my bladder, then you will have to lay on the table for an hour or more waiting for an oncologist. and whatever you do DO NOT NOT NOT DO A TUMMYTUCK WITH YOUR HYSTERECTOMY. IT'S TOO PAINFUL AND YOU WILL SUFFER LIKE A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK G-D I DIDN'T DO IT. PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS. and one more thing...an oncologist/gynecologist will do a procedure called a "flap" which tightens your tummy. i saved $8000!! my previous indentation ugly scar was fixed. good luck. i want to help anyone i can as this is a horribly painful experience. if i knew what to expect more i would have been better prepared.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis 18 years ago, my sophomore year in college. I had a laparoscopy and almost hemorrhaged which landed me back in the hospital 2 weeks later after the surgery for about 6 days. Since then I have had 3 more laparoscopies where adhesions were found and scraped; 2 D&C's (miscarriages); hysterectomy to remove my uterus for adenomyosis and massive adhesions connecting all of my organs to one another in 2000 (age 27); surgery to remove my ovaries and tubes, and scrape adhesions from my colon in 2006 ; another laparoscopy to remove more endo and huge cysts, and adhesions; finally, dilations of my urethra due to scarring. Since 2006, I have had major pain and problems with my bowels. Everytime I have to have a b/m, I have to have a pillow on my stomach because it is so painful. Last week I ended up in the ER because of partial small bowel obstruction and remained in the hospital for 5 days because of vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, fever, high white blood cell count, and multiple dilated small bowel loops/points of obstruction due to adhesions. I can not find a surgeon in Jonesboro, AR that feels confident enough to operate so they are telling me that I will have to endure this severe level of pain for the rest of my life. I desperately need to find a team of doctors that are willing to help me and find a solution so that I don't have to live in constant everyday pain...I relate to all of your stories.

At about 35 I had a total hysterectomy. I am 51 now and just had a MRI ultrasound done and the DR. found some cysts on my left side where my ovary use yo be.Why do they come back after all these years?
