It is possible that the endo is causing pain, but given the
complications you had after your surgery, it still may be scar tissue
and adhesions. Although another response says lupron didn't help her,
if you haven't tried it, it is the best option to try to shut down the
endo (if that's the source of pain). Removal of the other ovary is also
an option, but work should be done to try to clear up any remaining
adhesions. If you aren't geting good responses from your doc, try to
find one that has a lot experience with endo and chronic pain.
