Hi

Did you have a lap to remove 100% endo (by excision)? Because if you had endo removed from everywhere and from the root, then its not guaranteed that you will have endo for life. Endo is totally unpredictable, can appear and/or not reappear again. There are so many women out there that they had one lap with excision of endo and they are fine. All you need is a great endo gynae that knows exactly what to do, all these laser methods are not taking away endo from the root, they are very old-fashioned these days.

As for the chronic pelvic pain, sometimes even if endo is totally removed, the nerves keep giving the wrong signal (pain) to the brain and this has to be handled with medication for neuropathic pain as I do. I had endo, i had 100% removal of endo from the root (i even saw the dvd of my lap to be convinced) and now im left with neuropathic pain cause there is nerve irritation etc in the area where the endo was before. x
