Tina,
It sounds to me like it could be endo again. There is no cure for endo,
and even if your doctor said he got 90% of it, there is no guarantee
that he even got 10% of it. I have never personally heard of anyone
having a surgery and then never again having endo return. A lot of
doctors think that they have gotten all of the endo, when in fact it was
much deeper then they thought, and sometimes doctors don't even know
that endo can be other colors than black and red. I would find an endo
specialist and get him to evaluate you. A regular obgyn, though they
mean well, won't know as much. Good luck to you!
