    • Close Chronic Pain

      3 years ago I had major abdominal surgery for pain and was mis-diagnosed for Chrons diease. Next surgery, because pain continued they found an area in my small intestine that was "kinked" they also found a ton of scar tissue from the first surgery. The second surgery left me with a raging infection that couldn't be treated with antibiotics and so I was left with an open incision to heal from the inside out. It took three months of daily morphine and wound care only to be left with ARD.

      Treatments

      Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
      I have just transitioned from the patch to oral meds. If you are working, don't use the patch. Didn't work!!!!!
      Flexeril Working / Worked
      Working very well.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Works somewhat for extreme cramping. At the least it is warm and comforting.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Works!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just focusing on healing energy works. I should find more time for it.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      MS-Contin...Don't know yet, just started with treatment.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Percocet along with oxycontin and codeine sulfate really work for me
      Librax Working / Worked
      Works for calming the bowel and cramping
    • Close Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis

      I suffer from ARD Adhension related disease. I am in chronic pain and I have had 3 abdominal surgeries. I have been told to look forward to more surgeries even though more surgeries more adhesions

      Treatments

      Probiotics Too Soon to Tell
      Surgery Somewhat Helpful
      you can remove scar tissue this way but you only get more scar tissue
