Back Pain

I had a lap back in October that diagnosed and removed endo on my uterus, overies, and cul-de-sac. They also removed some adhesions. This month I started to have cramps early - I still had 2 weeks to go on my Birth Control Pill, but the cramps were so bad that I decided to stop taking the BCP and have my period just to get it over with. The cramps were normal cramps - nothing close to the pain I felt when I would have endo flare-ups. The weird thing is my lower back started aching. Then the ache turned into an "Oh my god - kill me now" constant pain. I didn't injure my back (I am not very active) so I figured that I must be getting a bladder infection or a kidney infection or stone or something. I went to my GP who told me that it was endometriosis in my back. She said that a lot of times the surgery, while removes some of it - it can also spread it to weird places. Well - I am going to see my ObGyn Tuesday - but I wondered if anyone else had this in their back - (by the way, she put me on Vioxx and it is a pretty good pain pill)

Also - I think that I am going to give up on the pill. Obviously it does NOTHING to stop or help the spread of endo. The doctors tell me that it does, but my body does not like the synthetic horomones, and I have no concreate evidence that it does anything, Has anyone else had sucess going off the pill?

Thanks -
