Barbara, thank you so much for this information...i am scheduled for
surgery on wednesday for the cyst removal and another look for endo. i
will bring this info to my doctor. I'm not sure why the doctors don't
think my varicose veins could contribute to the pain, especially since i
have chronic venous insufficiency in my right leg...i am grateful for
your response...josie
