Hi L, Glad you have a great gyn that you can trust, but a good doc is never opposed to a second opinion. I'm not a doc, but have a friend with a similar problem that turned out to be a hernia along with the scar tissue and some endometriosis that had developed in the scar (she had a prior diagnosis of endo though). Maybe you can ask your gyn if that is a possibility. My friend needed a general surgeon and a gyn to fix it, but your experience may be different. Good luck and please tell us how things turn out.
