Olivia, I had a lap in 8/90 because of constant pain. I had mild endo in similar places you describe. A few months after surgery, all the pain returned. My endo had only been cauterized and it came back in about 3 months. I had surgery at Mayo on 12/16/91 by an Reproductive Endocrinologist and he lasered everything. This time, some areas felt much better but I still had a constant pain on my right side. Several years later this was determined by a pelvic pain specialist to not be due to endo but pelvic congestion (it was in the ovarian veins and I have also heaard that called Ovarian Vein syndrome). Check into Pelvic Congestion on-line and see if your symptoms might fit... especially a throbbing pain. It is like having varicose veins in your pelvis. Just comething else to consider... you could have more than one thing going on.
