I just signed up for this site two days ago, this is my first time interacting with you all. I have only been suffering for two years now, so I feel like everyone else has had it alot worse than me, however I AM still suffering. I had my first lap in January and my doctor wants to do another before the end of the year. This pain mapping thing, I have only heard a couple things about it. I would really like more info on how effective it is, how often you have to go in, does the endo still continue to spread, like to your bowels and stuff, how do you find doctors who specialize in it, so many questions, I just don't know where to go to answer them. It sounds like a wonderful plan, if it works. Any help would be great, thanks. Marianne --- sela <anonymous@obgyn.net> wrote: > I am having my 5th surgery next Wed (Oct 4th). This
