Amanda,
Like you, I've had the tailbone pain, and it's been really bad lately.
It sounds identical to yours in how it acts too. I also have hip/lower
back pain.
I am considering having a second lap soon for endo, and am trying to
decide on a doctor.
You said that your doctor said that she could't remove the endo in the
tailbone area. So, what is she proposing that you do? Did she do
excision removal of the other endo you had, or what was her technique? I
am considering going to a specialist that does excision, but there
aren't any close to where I live, so I'd have to go out of state, and it
would be a lot more expensive. I'm wondering... if the average ob/gyn
can't remove endo in that area (behind the uterus and tailbone), maybe I
should.
Any info you have on this would be greatly appreciated!!!

>>Just asked my ob/gyn same ? today. He said it was my tailbone. I too have severe back problems under care of chiropracter for subluxation in c 1 and 2 I have had low back pain for years. I too am conveinced that the endo is about 35% of my low back and hip pain. But no proof. I am 43 and considering complete hysto but very scared about going under anestesia. My mother in law died post-surgery 3 years ago from blood clot leaving leg and traveling to lungs. Never tried any drugs (lupo) etc.. but Doc says lets just take it all out.
