Joni- I am 23 and I have had a Lap done and I think that it is the best things to do if you are having a lot of pain. It may also show that you have endo or something else wrong that can be causing you so much pain. I know that you may be scared of surgery but I was also, then I realized "Hey! I am asleep when they do it, and I get cool drugs afterwards, it cant be that bad". (Just kidding, I was trying to make you laugh) Trust me, a lap really is a good idea. I hope that you get well soon!
