Pelvic pain can be caused by many things. You might want to consider
seeing an Endo or Pelvic Pain specialist. We can help you find a doctor
if you let us know the areas in which you would be able to go. Or the
Endometriosis Association can help as well @
http://www.endometriosisassn.org/
Endo can only be diagnosed through a minimially invasive procedure
called Laporoscopy. Adenomyosis can be detected on an MRI and by taking
a biopsy of the inside of the uterus.
It is not in your head and any doctor who tells you that is not worthy
of your business or anyone elses for that matter!!!! See someone else!
Painfree wishes to you,
Mindy :-)
