after having abdominal pain and many other problems for a very long time i finally had my laporoscopic surgery on 19th feb this year. the diagnosis was endometriosis. i have never heard of this in my life and i work on a gynaecological surgery ward!! i never got told about this at the hospital only they have removed some scar tissue and i have a few small cysts on my ovary. i found out about the endometriosis after visiting my g.p due to a lot of pain 2 weeks after surgery. i now feel completely in the dark and don't know where this leaves me. any advice on living with this condition would be much appreciated as i have now been off work 2 and a half weeks and need to get back. also forgot to mention havent had a period for approx 4-5 years due to the implant but have been bleeding since my op and the period pain is horrendous. i missed alot of school etc due to this when i was younger and i thought it was painful then but this is horrible. gp just said its normal after a lap x
