Peggy--

Was your endometriosis removed or just your uterus? If the endo wasn't completely excised it is still there is could potentially be causing the problems you describe. Hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis, a fact many who suffer from this disease post-hysterectomy can attest to. Have you considered seeing an endometriosis specialist who uses excision? These doctors are specially trained and highly skilled to remove endo in all it's shapes, sizes and colors, wherever it is found. Their rate of recurrence is low. If you post the part of the country you live in, other forum members will reply with the name of a trusted specialist in your region.

Best wishes!
