To Lil!From: Connie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 1 Sep 2003 22:30:05 -0500 (CDT)
Lil: I didn't want to do a direct respond to your question as I see why you want a doctor to answer you, but I wanted to comment that you are on the right track. I had similar symptoms and my regular gyne could not find anything on laparoscopy. I had a cystocele and was sent to a urologist who then sent me to a urogyne and they decided together to do my surgery. I had a vaginal prolapse as well. Anyway to get to the point of what you are asking, my surgeon(s) decided to do the surgery abdominally rather than laparoscopically due to the severity of the prolapses, when the urogyne got into the pelvic area it took her 6 hours to do the surgery with 4 1/2 hours spent on taking off extensive adhesions and endo (which my other doctor didn't find on laparoscopy). She told me that this explained the vast amount of pelvic pain I had. I told her I was also experiencing back back which radiated to my legs and the MRI which I had previously for my back was negative. She explained that the endo (which was very deep as well as superficial) was causing this back pain...so, I wouldn't doubt that this is the reason you are having the back pain, plus my bowels were and still are not functioning properly. I haven't seen a GI yet, but I feel that much of it is because I may have more adhesions and endo. So, if you see your doc and consider more surgery, you may want to suggest that it be an "open" procedure opposed to a scope. Hope this helps..
