Tricey,

A problem recently described is non-pimented endometriosis. As far as I'm able to understand, it may not be discernible to the naked eye. Occasionally, areas causing pain are excised and then symptoms checked after healing. This new concept and treatment has not been perfected yet.

At 1.5 weeks, it's too soon to tell.
