I was recently diagnosed with Pelvic Adhesions, after suddenly developing severe abdominal pain. It appears that I've had undiagnosed appendicitis at some time in the past and although they separated my mangled appendix from my bowel, the rest of my insides are fairly well glued together. I've been in pain for 2 months now (not very long in the grand scale of things, I know). Do you get used to it? And is surgery to separate the organs an option, or will it cause more scarring and adhesions, and therefore more pain?
I'd be grateful for any information as my follow-up appointment isn't for another 2 1/2 months. Apparently, the NHS have to send the audiotapes of my surgery to India to be transcribed before I get my appointment!
