Hi have been taking prostap for 6 months it was working great but this last injection it hasnt kept the pain at bay, I have had an MRI and they have found bilateral adrenal cysts , I was sent for a ca125 test and my reading was 9, so they have just kept me on prostap for another month.I had bad pain last night in my pelvic area and back and sides, can prostap stop working, and if so why? I had a lap a year and a half ago found endo on ovaries, womb and bladder, had it lasered off also had a ablation so haven't had a period since.

Thanks for your reply, I am 43 and I am 5'4 and weight 8.7 pounds so I think that's a healthy weight. I asked to see a specialist the problem is I live on a small island in Scotland and the specialist is on the mainland. I went to a private specialist to have my endo diagnosed and can't afford to do that again. I see a gyno that comes to the island once every 3 months and he seems to know a fair bit about endo. I had to fly to the mainland for my MRI scan. I didn't see anyone after my lap, no follow up etc, only when I had symptoms again and I went to the doctor that I was referred again.
