For about three years now I have been battling with back pain. I finally got referred to see a neurosurgeon last month. I know that my pain is most likely due to endo. I am very frustrated because I am on pain meds daily and very depressed about this. Lately my pain shoots down my legs and in my hip and buttox. I have had two surgeries for endo in the past and found out today that the dr. that did my surgery cannot even see me because of my insurance plan. I am trying to find out about endo being on nerves near the back and or near the spine. I feel like I am heading down a road to nowhere. I hope everything works out with you. >Hi gals, >Sorry to vent but I'm having a horrible day :( I got this whole backache >thing at work(didn't injure it) lastnight and it's terrible!!!!
