I would definitely go see a different doctor. If he knew what pain you were in he would give you something stronger and NOT dismiss you! We all need to cry to our doctors so they know just how much pain we are actually in. I cried every MONTH last year when I went to see my Gyn because I was miserable and in constant pain. It is normal for your pain to be there 2 days after surgery though. I have had 3 laps and Lupron and I'm just now starting to feel somewhat normal. Having endo itself is an emotional roller coaster. Therefore, I believe that us women that suffer with it deserve the best care possible. Find yourself a good doctor in your area that will actually listen to you.

Good luck and try to keep your chin up!
