I had severe pain in my abdomen for about 6 mths. They finally listened and did an ultra sound finding an ovary w/a blood clod and a tumor. I told them I didn't have any ovaries, that wasn't it. It was my large intestines all balled up in a ball and attached to my left side and everything being pulled to my pelvic floor and what looked like 2 gals. of glue poured in me. I was prepped for a 25 min. surgery, but it took them 4 1/2 hrs. and a different surgeon.(That surgeon said he'd never seen a case as bad as mine. He said my body doesn't stop producing like it should and he would never cut on me again. He said if I got a blockage, if he had to he'd keep me in the Hospital for a mth to try and get rid of it). Due to total hysterectomy due to endometriosis. I had been cut hip to hip twice before, 1st a partial than the total. Since then I've had lower back, right shoulder and 20% of upper right lung with tumor removed, only the tumor was cancer. The last 2 surgeries were done about 3 wks. apart and the lung was done thru my rib cage. That was in Aug/Sept-2009. Chest pain started in Jan. about once a wk. Feb/Mar. almost 7/24 pain with severe spiking a night time and sometimes during the day. I'm at the point I can only sleep on my couch in the sitting up position. Pain meds. only take the edge off for 2-3 hrs at the most. The pain has of about 2 wks ago gone all the way down to my wrist. I know a lot has to do with the nerve damage, which did get a little better but since the adhesions have started I'm sure there not helping. I hope this is enough info. I did have a CT w/contrast done last mth, showed scaring. They're doing another in May, but I need some advice on what to do for pain. I take 10mg Percocet 1 every 8 hrs as pain management Dr. advises and 600mg IBP every 8 hrs. I take it 4 hrs. after the Per. I started doing that with the IBP about a mth ago and it seems to have helped a little. I do use ice and heat but mostly ice. I started taken Terry Naturally/Curamin extra strength from the Health food store. I looked up the different ingredients, there's other vitamins you need to take with it. I do take vitamins as well but it suggest you take 100-200mg Vit. 6 which I had to add because my B supplements didn't have that many mgs. I'm not into taking pain meds all though I've been on them since my car wreck in 97. I'd rather take alternative non narcotic products. 

I have adhesions from 4 different surgeries. I learned about adhesions in the 90's?
