Laparoscopy pain is nothing compared to what she is going through now.
this is NOT normal. Find yourself a dr that will listen! Cramps is one
thing,...severe pain is another. You have tried the pill route---what
is left? At least she will have piece of mind and so will you should the
lap come back normal. Endo and adeno runs in families. My mother had
it, and I have five sisters,....all but one of us has it!
Many prayers for her! Hope you get that lap! I went through one, it
really isn't bad at all! Just ask them to not do it the week of her
period if possible. She doesn't need the gassy pains on top of her
normal pain.
