Hi Julie, I truly feel for you, I don't know if mine is the same kind of pain but pain is pain.
Back in Dec. 1994 i had a tubal pregnancy the surgeon failed to remove all of the baby, as a result i had to go through 4 abdominal surgeries in 3 short years. Right after the first one i had pain at the incision site. The only way i can describe it is like I'm being sawed in half with dull saw the pain is unrelenting 24-7.

I hope that you can find some solution and be free from the prison called pain.

Sincerely and respectfully
Jan
