You need to get into your doctor ASAP... You need to have a Lap done I have now had 2 and found in my first one I have Endo. I was starting to do all these tests to see why I was back in pain and the dr who would have done the colonoscopy said to go back to my GYN and talk to him she thought it was my Endo and low and behold it was. This time it was more and on my ovaries and my Uterus. I am 30 and thinking more on the Hysterectomy side due to I have been dealing with this for 13 years and tired of all the pain. You need to get that Dr. to listen and if he or she won't mostly it is the men doctors as my first one then find a new one. I now go to my first dr.'s partner and he is wonderful. He I hope says to do the hysterectomy and I pray cause makign that decision on my own is hard cause there is no turning back but I feel it is the best thing for me to do. Oh and Ultrasounds will come out clear most of the time, lesions from endo are very hard to find on ultrasounds, I had 2 done before my last lap. And also Endo is a non curable disease we have to just live with it by doing what we can such as the shots, birth control, laparoscopies things like that. I pray one day it is a curable disease and it is sooo painful. Also after my second lap I am not any better my pain on my right side is still there. I think I am just getting immune to stuff from what the dr.s do and that is another reason I might and probably will do the hysterectomy... I hope this helps get into your dr soon.... Like I said the lap will tell all.. It is a one day process in and out the same day...
