I had problems with constant back pain and problems with going to the
bathroom. I never imagined that it would be linked to endo. In fact, I
really didn't think much about the issue with going to the bathroom. I
had a lap done last year. My endo had caused scar tissue that as it
grew, it was pushing my colon up and that is why I was having problems
using the bathroom. It may not be a bad idea.
