Gidge,

It sounds to me that adhesions may be the problem I am not a Dr. but do have experience in both adhesions and endometriosis, It doesn't matter that you had your ovaries out as long as you are taking a HRT it is allowing the endometriosis to still be alive! Did your Dr. remove all the endo at the time of your last surgery ? You need to find a Dr. that will listen to you and admit that adhesions can cause this type of pain. here is the URL to the adhesion site http://www.adhesions.org read read read and then go in with questions and make sure you get the answers that you deserve Good Luck and please let us know how you make out with this >
