Hell can I ask why your hysterectomy failed the first time ? Good luck for Friday. Is this a hysterectomy I hope all goes well for you xx

Hi, i hope your op went well and you are fully recovered. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2010 after several years of pain and discomfort. I have had two laparoscopies, both resulting in life long complications due to poor management post surgery. I have also tried zoladex, the mirena coil and other hormones and am now considering my options as I can't carry on like this. I am on continuous pain meds now, including tramadol and am still struggling with pain, feeling unwell and exhausted all the time. I am only 32, but have recently found out I can't have children so have been told a hysterectomy could be a good choice. Just wondering how you are feeling several months on and wondering if your endometriosis has troubled you since. Would be so grateful for any advice. Best wishes
