Laurie, My name is also Lauri ans I have had endometrios for twenty years,I have had a hysteromy and the pelvic pain is back 13 months later, I went to a new doctor yesterday and he wants to do a pelvic cat scan, I have never had this done as a way to diagnois endo, so I'm interested if your pelvic scan showed adhesions? It seems to me that if this was an accurate way to diagnois pelvic masses and adhesions, I would have had one a long time ago, I also consulted my endo sourcebook and found nothing. HELP!!!!
