>Hi my name is Sue and I just found this website. I was looking at reoccuring endo and found your note. I too have endo and fibromyalgia. I first had surgery in '77 for removal of l ovary/tube; then '87 total hysto; '94 for reoccurance which included a colostomy for 6 months; surgery to remove another reoccurance in jan '01. Never had problems like after the last surgery. (Fibro was diagnosed in '00) About 2-3 months after last surgery had terrible pain on side of surgery. Dr found a hematoma (started bleeding) pain was gone for a short time - came back. went for CT's and they found another mass, not anymore hematoma's. Said it "probably" wasn't cancer. Didn't do anything, but I am still in a lot of pain - all they offer is pain killers! Now I just feel terrible - no energy, aches and pains all over! Anyone have any suggestions. I am 50.
