New to the board. My name is Christina and I just had my first lap done
a week ago for Endometreosis. According to what my Dr. told my husband
after the surgery, it was like some one took a salt shaker and spinkled
it every where. She also said that I had Adenomyosis. The pain is
still bad, and right now I am having intense pain in my rectum when I
sit. I see My Dr. on Tuesday, not sure what to expect. I had realy
bad bleeding until yesterday, and clots the size of silver dollars. Has
any one had the same thing?
