Keri: I experience the same symptoms (cocnetrated lower left) as you though I accepted the lap in 09/2000 and was diagnosed with endo. Endo was attached to my bladder; perhaps you have something similar? I had daily pain using b/c pills continuously too, and eventually 5 straight weeks of bleeding. Hesitantly, I have recently added Depo Provera to the mix. I also started taking an Omega 3-6-9 complex and a B complex vitamin which I read has helped some women. I don't know which if any is responsible, and it has only been a week, but the only pain I have had since is with urination (which isn't new). What a tremendous relief! Good luck and email me at a_farquharson@hotmail.com if you want more info. I know how frustrating it can be. Amanda
