I had the samething before I found out that I had endo but my pain was mainly on my right side. I went to several doctor appointment and still it took 2 year to find out that I had endo. And alot of people thought it was all in my mind including the doctor. I hope you dont live in a small town like I did I had to go to the same doctor for like forever. I really got bad when I was 16 and I was going to the doctor since I was 13 maybe 14. I got to the point that I was doubling over in pain, falling to the floor in pain, my period where so bad that my mom would take me out of school. I tried every pills, heat, hot baths, herbs, anything. I went though 6 month of intense of testing pelvic exams, mri's, Ct's, oltrasounds, and finally they saw that I had a cyst the size of a base ball on my right ovary. And I had sugery the next week but they had no clue when they went that I would have stage 4 endo. I was so hard trying to find out what was wrong and was very upset when they told me what I had.

But now that I know it is better because at least I know instead of thinking maybe everyone is right and it is really is in my head. I found out your are in pain for a reason. Its a unknow reason right now but there is a reason and hopeful a cure to your pain. I hope you go to the doctor and get better. But just do not go because it might be something big, or something really easy to fix.

My husband started to have realy bad stomach and got worse and worse before he went to the doctor. He finally went and he was so stressed out wondering what was wrong come to find out he had a hernia but small and he was so relieved that it wasnt cancer.

So good luck. Melissa
