Hi Alisha,
Did you ever have the endo surgery or are you just living w/the pain?
Have you checked out pelvicpain.org to see if there are any doctors
near you that *may* take Kaiser? You can search for providers in your
area. Even if they are gyns, maybe you can find a pain specialist who
can help you.
