My 1st surgery (lap) was May 08 and nothing went away...he was going in
just to remove a large cyst and found alot of endo (stage 2). Having
another surgery Sept 19th and actually having a Hyst b/c of increased
horrendous pain since last lap and removing left ovary too...b/c that
was the one that was completely covered and stuck to pelvic wall. So
this will be 1st major surgery for me, but definitely necessary! Who can
be in this much pain daily?!?
