Wendy,

I know exactally what you mean with the low back pain. I have it constantly and I can't even bend over to tie my shoes. In fact it's soo bad that it just throbbs when i move. I tried soaking in a hot bath and many other things including my pain pills and it doesn't seem to be helping. I haven't actually been diagnosed with endo yet. I am 19 and have my first lap this friday. I'm scared, but I know it's for the best. Let me know if you find anything that helps your back.
