As a matter of fact:
1. Endo is a disease of pain and adhesions.
2. There is no rule for the degree, quality and type of pain of endo
3. There is no relationship between the severity of adhesions or the
intensity of endo and the severity of pain.
Yes adhesions and endo is the main cause of what you are dresribing.
