Hey Laura. I have also suffered from endo but my case was mild compared
to many other women including yourself. I can sympathize with the lower
back pain and I wish that I could offer you some advice...but
unforunately I can't. Hopefully someone in the forum can help you with
questions. Just know that you are not alone. My thoughts go out to you
right now. Please keep us updated on your follow up appt and try to do
as much research as you can between now and then. Sometimes this helps
with questions that you may not have already thought of. Keep your chin
up!!!
