Post ablation tubal sterilisation syndrome (PATTS)

Has anyone else had both of these surgeries and gone on to have excruciating pain? During my surgery they found endometriosis and I've since had an MRI and CT scan (as well as lots of useless ultrasounds that find nothing). I've been diagnosed with deep infiltrating endo on ovaries, peritoneum and bowel with adhesion tethering bowel to uterus. I've also been told I probably have adenomyosis as my uterus was large on both scans. I have most recently been told I may have this post ablation tubal sterilisation syndrome.

I feel more upset about this PATSS as I think it is not natural, it was caused by what the doctors did. I chose to have the sterilisation surgery at the same time as the ablation, but without it they would never have found endo. I had a terrible miscarriage between my two healthy children and decided I definitely didn't want more children. The doctors should have known about the possibility of this outcome (PATSS) and warned me prior to surgery.

The pain is very severe, becoming more frequent and has a sudden onset. This is making my life very difficult, affecting my ability to work, but then because I can be normal for a week or two and am quite an active person normally people can't see what I'm going through. Has anyone else had both endometrial ablation and tubal sterilisation surgeries and gone on to have severe chronic pain after?
