Hello there. I know exactly how you feel. I myself had a c-section 3 years ago and was enduring much pain in my abdomen for months. There was also a lump. I finally had gone to the doctor last month and had been scheduled for surgery. I just recieved a call today stating that it was endometriosis. The doctor also stated that he had never seen what I had. What had occured was the disease had formed on the lining of the uterus where my incision from my c-section was. There are a lot of complications with c-sections afterwards. This is something that should not be taken lightly by any professional. He also began to tell me that if I didn't have the surgery that being that mine was a rare case that it would have made it worse. So therefore now I am pain free and I am doing well. I hope that your doctor will take you seriously and check it out ASAP. Good Luck and God Bless.
