it sounds like you have endometriosis. my mother was never diagnosed with endometriosis but i believe she had it and just was not diagnosed with it. she had painful periods to where she could not function when she was younger. i have endo, my sister has endo and was diagnosed when she had a c section with her first baby. i dont know a doctor in pa but i know women on this sight most likely will. i went to cec in atlanta which is well known for tx endo. good luck. im sure someone else will be able to respond with more info on a doctor close to your area.
