I don't think my situation is the same, but I do have pain post-hysterectomy. I am 5 months post-hysterectomy/bilateral oophorctomy, and my pain started coming back about a month and a half ago. I seemed to be healing quite well after the surgery, felt great in fact, but now it seems I've either got some major scar tissue or the endo is still growing. I've heard of lots of people who were very happy with how their hyst. turned out, but don't let anybody tell you it's an absolute cure. Are you on HRT? I hope everything works out for you. If you doctor can't give you any advice, FIND A NEW ONE! Write again about how things go.
