The heavy cramping can be a sign of many different gynse problems, and
if ur doc is an endo specialist maybe he thinks it isnt adeno, but I
would ask just in case. I take codydramol and ibuprofen for the pain,
it doesnt stop the pain but it makes u so spaced out u dont care ha
ha!!!
Good luck and no need for thanks I know what its like trying to get
answers.
