@mary2t1 Mary, thank you for taking the time to tell your story. I have had many of the same surgeries with the same results. From your toe surgery to your knees finger and hernia. I had all those surgeries too. I was so glad when a doctor believed me about the adhesion problem, and advised P. T. for even just my hand. I had a very rare form of cancer removed (the surgeon had never heard of it.) Learning how to massage it with a small vibrator device helped so much along with regular P.T.
There are a lot of people who may not believe that you can have that many operation, with many of them being the results of adhesions. As you said, they can be so dangerous. I believe. I've had them too, to the point I had to have part of my intestines removed. I hope you find relief from your present pain. Your tale is not "bragging, or whining." It is informative. Blessings 💕
