Loosing hope that my chronic pain will end.

@kayraymat sadly there is no treatment. Adhesions can form at any time. I had hernia surgery 3 years ago and they cleaned out adhesions then. It's been manageable for these 3 years until I had to do PT for a gluteal repair injury, post surgery. The exercises involved the core and now I'm in the worst shape ever. My stomach is distended, I'm in pain and uncomfortable with all the pulling and rubbing. It's miserable. I spoke to a Drs ofc at Duke University and he will not do surgery either. The problem is more surgery can create more adhesions. Drs are telling me I learn to live with this. I can't wear jeans or leggings, I need to buy larger tops to cover my abdomen. It's really affected my anxiety. I'm sorry you may be dealing with the same xo

@debrap57
I have an appt with a GI specialist next week to see if she can determine
why I have such ongoing abdominal pain. I will mention adhesions. I have
almost become a hermit as I never know when the pain will return even
with pain meds. What pain meds do you take, and are they effective?
