I read through some of your past posts. You are going to have a lap to confirm and perhaps excise your endo? Do not let them tell you hysterectomy is the difinitive cure for endo. ( what my gyn told me) I am living proof that the endo is alive and well post hysterectomy. New research is pointing to the conclusion that endometrial lesions may be providing their own supply of estrogen. So removal of your organs won't supress this antagonist to endo. Sound like you must be a stage 4 which in turn means you must surely have adhesions. I know the pain is unbearable. Have you been given the C-125 blood test? People with endo have elevated levels. Please tell the docs preserving your fertility is one of the highest priorities. After lap and lupron I was told I would never have children. Afew years later I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. I don't want to get your hopes up but miracles do happen. I am not a doctor or anything. Each person is different. My best advice is to educate yourself as best you can to all potential scenarios you may be involved in. Docs get away with murder to the uneducated (figurativly but perhaps literally) You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted on how you are doing. P.s. We all love our heating pads but ice is good initially to reduce imflamation. I love em both!
