You know, I was once told that my lower left-sided back pain could be bowel related and Dr. suggested a high fiber diet and a small dosage of a drug called AMITRYPTALINE. It is a SSRI (seratonin reuptake inhibitor) and is used for a number of different things....depression, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, on and on. In addition to the endo pain, if I do not take my little 25mg. amitryptaline DAILY I am in tons of pain!!! Apparently the bowel empties on the left side (small intestine into large or something like that....cant remember exactly)...but it is worth a shot. I have diverticulitis as well, where polyps have formed on my intestines from years of constipation. (they look like blisters on the outside walls of the intestines...yummy!!) They burn, and the medication helps that, too... Also could it be from nerves? maybe like sciatic?? That would probably bug you more all the time, but I often have sciatic nerve pain just on left side when i am sitting/laying down, especially after i have had a busy day...(and with sciatic nerve pain for me, it burns like a hot poker being stuck in my lower back, often burning down the leg as well....)

Not that it couldn't be endo...we are the BLESSED ONES, afterall....haa haa haa....but just passing on info I once received. Best of luck to you!!
