I had a laparotomy done 3 weeks ago, & under my severe scarring
was severe endometriosis. Both were encasing my ovaries,
especially my right side, on my bowels, & under my uterus. My dr
& I did not know I had endo-I had a laparoscopy done last year &
endo could not be seen because my dr was unable to see much with
the scope because the adhesions were so dense and severe. I just
wanted to share my experience-I had no idea that I had endo, & this
was causing a great deal of my pain.

Hi Tiffany-I have had constant pain since my c-section in '99. I had 1 lap done but it didn't help the pain. I was wondering-I guess you had adhesions during your second pregnancy? Was it painful? I've been ttc for 16 mths, & had 1 mc. My dr is putting me on fertility med, but he also says we can go ahead & do a laparotomy. I'm trying to decide if I should ttc, or get my surgery over with. Oh-my pain feels like sharp pains under my ribs, dull aching or throbbing around my stomache & lower back-painful all the time.
Thanks for any info!
