Hi Emma,
Do you know whether anything was used during any of your surgeries to prevent adhesions ? if you don't know, it should say in the surgical report (s) which you can request a copy of. People on here can help you with this.
Also, have you read the page about adhesions on pelvicpain.org.uk/index.php... ?
Hi Judy
I'm presuming the last surgery they did as the Consultant had perfomed a couple of my others.
I am so at the end of my tether, and without sounding too dramatic, am now beginning to doubt my own sanity.. Some drs say you can't get pain with adhesions, others say you can..
So I don't know who to believe anymore. All I know is that I am in so much pain most of the time.. I had to give up my job as a cardiac tech which I loved as I was having more and more time off work and the prospect of getting another one is so far away at the min.. I know that surgery to relieve the porblem of adhesions causes more adhesions but what to do, to say anymore to drs is a mystery.
I have a 22 year old daughter..
Thank you for getting back to me, it's the first time I have ever used a site or message board like this!

hi judy I've read at the link you posted: "Peritoneal injury may be minimized by using filtered, heated and humidified gas instead of the frequently used dry gas (there are currently very few centres or surgeons using warm/humidified gas)."
would you please tell me some names of those centres or surgeons using warm/humidified gas? I'm looking for someone very expertised because I'm full of adhesions all over the pelvis and around the terminal branches of the pudendal nerve.

Is there some way you can find out about this for sure ? I also presumed things which turned out to be to the contrary. After that I resolved to get all the information for myself. This was essential and the only way to find a way through the mire.
