I think back and leg pain is defo caused by endo. I suffer daily with it. I was diagnosed in June, endo is all over pouch of Douglas and loads of other places, I think it makes sense that the pain is connected as all the organs etc in pelvis that endo attacks are so close to sciatic nerves and other nerves around that area. Problem is most doctors have little knowledge of endo and the severity of pain it can cause so they are unlikely to connect the two x
