I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough emotional time now. Your pain going from 10 to 5 sounds promising though. I don't have any medical advice, but from the sounds of things from others who have had the surgeries, it isn't neccessarily the answer in all cases. I know for me, they tried to go in to do a Lap to remove endo, they couldn't even get in because of adhesions and gave up and closed me. The one thing I seem to have any control over right now is my attitude. I am trying to accept this pain as a part of my day, continue to move and do things, and try to be positive and hang around positive people too. If I can keep my mind occupied, it helps. I know I will try to hold off on any surgery unless I have no choice. More surgery couold also mean more pain. If you have a Dr. who is willing to work with you on controlling pain you are very lucky. I hope you find some comfort and the answers you are looking for.
Hang In There!
