Two years after lapo- not much improvement

I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 18, I'm now 20. I always suffered with severe period pains and one day I just couldn't have sex. Since my lapo, and insertion of mirena coil I am just confused as I was before my diagnosis. I feel like my doctor and gyno really didn't tell me anything about the condition and I've been left to deal with it on my own. My gyno told me the coil should prevent the endo from coming back but I don't know what the chances are of it not working? Since my op although I've not had periods, I've still had severe pains (although I'm not sure whether it is the coil causing these) and sex is still painful, can't do certain positions and has to be really slow. Recently my pains have become so severe, I was shopping yesterday and I literally had to sit on the floor and curl up in a ball. Is it possible that I will have to have another lapo? I know when I was diagnosed it didn't show up on an ultrasound so I went into the op not knowing if I actually had it. Sorry if this is long,

I am just so uninformed about the condition I have
