It does sound exactly like the symptoms I have, so yes, endo could be the
culprit. I am so angry at doctors, If I had a dollar for each woman I have
spoken to who's doc told her having a baby would sort out the endo, I would
be really rich. I have three children, and if ANYTHING the endo has been
worse after each baby.
I am trying diet and lifestyle to cope with the pain, as well as physical
therapy, and it does seem to be helping a little.I will have to wait at
least six cycles to be sure, but this month just did not seem as bad as
usual.
(((HUGS)))
