Hi! Just wanted to tell you not to worry! :-) I had a lap back in
February of this year. The doctor found endo and tons of adhesions. She
did end up removing my appendix b/c it was covered with adhesions and
she wanted to save me some pain for the future!! I had the same sharp,
burning pain that you have. It's just the endo. I hope you feel
better!!
