Re: Pam re: colonics and constipation...Fiona

Fiona, adhesions form after surgery mostly - they can also form from

endometriosis. It's your body's defense against foreign bodies a lot

like what forms around the implants in our breasts. I had surgery

for endometriosis and they removed my left ovary at the same time

because it had an endometrial cyst in it that was getting bigger and

bigger and would eventually have caused my ovary to burst. It was

very painful. After the surgery I seemed to be fine and had no pain

for a while. 6 months later I got implants and within 4 months of

getting them I was back under the knife for a full hysterectomy. The

pain returned from what I thought was endometriosis. When they

opened me up they saw maybe a speck or two of endo and the rest was

adhesions. It looked sort of like a spider web of tissue that was

attached to my cervix and bladder and colon and intestines and it was

binding up everything in there. I felt so much better after the

surgery. Then again within a few months I was in severe pain and had

a 2nd surgery and the adhesions were 10 X as bad as the last one. It

took 2 doctors and a 3rd one on call just in case they had problems

with my bowels and bladder. The surgery took several hours and after

removing all the adhesions they put in something called Interceed

that was supposed to cover the areas and keep adhesions from forming

then eventually turn into a gel and pass back out of me. Within a

few months again I was in pain and under the knife. Same thing,

different doctor. This time I was still in pain after the surgery

and couldn't walk because of something they did to a nerve that feeds

my left leg. Anyway, I was able to walk again after a few weeks and

that was my last surgery (I think?? I swear I've lost track - I kept

thinking I had another one but I don't remember for sure!). So, I'm

pretty darn sure I have adhesions again because I know how it feels.

Boy, I told you my life story didn't I? Sorry, I hope I explained

what adhesions are anyway!
