Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a good holiday! I haven't written to this forum in a
long time. It is very hard for me to keep up with the messages. But I
am going to be on vacation for the rest of the week so I will be hanging
around here.
Well, to get to my questions.
First, my gross question. Do any of you have pain when you have a bowel
movement? This has been becoming a big problem for me lately, especially
since my last period.
Second, my dumb question. Have any of you compared your surgery photos
to photos of endo posted at doctor's sties on the web? I recently got my
photos from my last surgery because I am going for a second opinion on
wednesday. The surgeon who did this lap said she didn't see any endo.
But when I looked at the photos I could see red patches in a lot of
areas. I knew that red was a color of endo so I started looking up
examples of red endo on the web and comparing them to my photos. I
found several examples that look exactly like the patches I see in my
photos. Am I just being parinoid or could this be endo? Does anybody
have any idea what endo really looks like?
