I have severe adhesion disease and "horrific" adhesions as my colorectal surgeon told me. It is a long story. I spent 2 months in hospital and 1 month in rehab from two colon surgeries. I have crohn's disease and celiac disease. I live in severe pain and always sore to touch my abdomen. I get very discouraged, but take each day as they come. I spent five years in pain management for the severity of my adhesions. Most surgeons do not want to operate, but I was in such bad shape and complicated. A surgeon in Atlanta, Georgia, operated on me and I am alive today because of him. He said I would not have lived another year. It was a rough go and I don't know if I could make it through another surgery. There is hope for you, ohthepains, pain really wears a person out.
