--
I have been suffering with severe lower back & pelvic pain with a shooting pain down my right thigh to my knee for almost a year. This pain is usually around the time of my periods. I have had blood tests,pelvic scan,liver scan,an internal examination. None of the tests have found anything wrong. My gyneacologist has referred me to a bowel specalist but says he dosent think its endo. Im not sure if this is endo or not. Any advice welcome.
