I am new to the list and I was wondering if any of you have the same kind of pain that I am experiencing. I was told 5 years ago that I had IBS do to stress, and that I needed to change my diet, well I have just about removed all stress from my life (if that is possible) and I have changed my diet drastically, but I am still in so much pain. I have been diagnosed with "minimal" endo by lap in 1996, at that time my doc. cauterized my lesions on the right uteroscral ligament and said that I would be fine from then on. Well I haven't and it is only getting worse. It used to be that I was only in pain around my period, now it is when I ovulate (I had a dermoid cyst removed from my right ovary in 1991 and I was told later that the pain in my ovary was "just" some scar tissue) and and it sends me to bed with the several times a week. The worse pain is still around my period, and it isn't so much as cramps, but the only way to describe it is it is like giving birth through my bum. Sorry I can't be very technical with the description, but that is exactly how it feels. When that happens, I can hardly breath or function. I have two young boys, 3 and 6 years, and I am at home with them fulltime, so I can't take a lot of strong med. because I need to be coherent to care for them. I have recently moved and I am now willing to go back to doctors, I have been doing lots of reading and searching on the web and I do think that I have endo on the bowel or still on the ligament that the doctor in 1996 did not remove. Can someone give me some insight? Has anyone experienced this pain as well? I would just love to know that I am not crazy or a hypochondriac. thanks for reading this.
