I had severe endo in my cul-de-sac (as well as many other spots) and I think the pain from the enema was caused by that. I had an appt with a new gi doctor 2 weeks ago, she told me she I had a partial bowel obstruction, she could tell from my symptoms and manual exam. She told me another gi test would only aggravate my condition and cause me pain. I felt like hugging her! I was so grateful she didn't order up the regular barage of tests. She told me the warning signs of total blockage were high fever, vomiting, extension of abdomen.
You are still so soon after surgery, I hope that things correct themselves and you find some relief soon.
