i am sorry to hear you are having trouble. But what is funny is you
sound just like me. I had my 2nd lap on the 30th of November so about a
week and a half ago...and am having some of the same problems. I am not
bleeding anymore but I am having the cramps and pain you are. Finally
just today the pain has subsided when having a bowel movement. I still
get cramping when i urinate though. Which worries me. My belly button
is still sore and kind of green from bruising I hope. As for the other
area lower that is doing well. Unless i hit it or something. I had my
post op 8 days after my surgery. She pulled off the bandages and cut
the stitches off. I too have Stage 1 Endo and my doc removed a bit of
endo this time. (my first lap there was only 1 spot that was removed)
this time there were about 10 or so. So, maybe our insides are still
healing. I feel for you. Please keep me informed.
