I have had my 4th surgery for endo, and my first one I had a cystoscope and lap done at the same time. My second surgery I just had a lap, and the third I had laser surgery and they removed my appendix because it was connected to my ovary. I have been on every strength of birth control and also tried the depro-parvo which is the only thing that has come near helping me except the bad side effects. My muscles started hurting and my joints, I couldnt hardly walk in the mornings the bottom of my feet were even tender. My last option given to me was the lupron, but for now im just living with the pain. So I guess what im trying to say is I sympathize with all of you, wish I would have known about this support group a long time ago.....hang in there its got to get better!!
