As some of you may know, I've been dealing with more adhesion problems. I've decided to try and tough it out as long as I can. Further surgery is just likely to create more adhesions.

I've been prescribed Percocet for the intermittent periods of pain but I was seriously concerned about the high potential for physical and psychological dependence.

My doc is brilliant and is willing to help me deal with the periods of pain and I've got lidocane patches to try.

I'm really hoping that these will work. I've watched a friend deal with this (or not as the case may be). I really don't want to go down that road.
