Hi, My first suggestion is that it is so important not to hide from the pain. If you are scared that it may be endo, don't just wonder. We feel the pain in similar ways each time it comes back. The key is accepting that it is a part of your body for now. Try to stay calm and make sure to get to your doc if the pain is hindering your ability to function. If you were not on the pill and didn't do Lupron or another inhibitor after surgery it could be back, even though it seems so quick. Good luck to you... and don't let your doc put you off if the pain becomes too much to handle. Lupron is tough to deal with - I could only stand 4 out of the 6 shots, but I'm sure it helped. Just remember to try and not lash out at others when you are on it - just know it is the Lupron talking.
-- Much Peace, Eva
