Hi Eva,

Thanks for your response. I just developed the same pain in stomach this weekend that I had prior to my surgery. My doc snipped the nerve to help with the pain when he did my most recent surgery so I am a little confused. Do you know if the nerves can grow back? I had put a call into my doc and he wants me to come in for an exam on Wednesday and to go over other treatment options since the endo keeps coming back. Then, on Wed, he can confirm, also, if indeed it did come back. I was on Lupron after my first lap was done in November 2002 for six months after surgery. I was on Lupron once a month injections, but the endo re-appeared after I stopped taking it. My doc has me taking Yasmin 28 continuously to where I don't have a period. Do you know of any other options he may want to discuss. I am only 31 and never been married and don't have any children yet. Does a hysterectomy totally guarantee that endo won't come back? Thanks for listening and for your support, Becky :o)
