Yes it is worse than cancer. It grows everywhere and never stopped. No choice except doing surgery again and again or wait till you have bowel instruction because of adhesion so sooner or later surgery must be done. I hope if more studies done about adhesion and more treatment options will be there as it really affects your whole life. Not stops your from everything and if you are still young you do not know what to do you want to enjoy your life have more children exercise so you will be in a doubt whether to do more surgery or to accept the current situation till you get obstruction or gangrene. I am not sure what I am going to do but I am going to cleveland for a second opinion as I believe that one day I might have gangrene because of adhesion. Thank you for your reply and understanding. Wish you all the best.

Hi there,
I have never heard of anyone having gangrene from adhesions. Is that something your doctor mentioned to you? I also have many adhesions from multiple abdominal surgeries. A few years ago, I had a seven hour surgery to clear them as best as the could. The surgeon was W. Scott Melvin at The Ohio State University. He did a great job! Naturally, more adhesions grew after that surgery, but they don’t bother me like they used to. Also, my gastroenterologist recently told me that the university has massage therapists who specialize in adhesions. Hope you find some relief soon!
