Dana, I have never had endo, what caused my was I had a abdominal hyst.
and got a abscess a few days later, and after that cleared up I started
right side pain and had another surgery to take out the right ovary and
about 3 weeks after that surgey I started pain on my left side and about
2 years later had my left ovary and at that surgery the adhesions were
very bad.
