Endo or just pelvic adhesion?

[shoo212]

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I had one surgery 3 years ago to remove uterine fibroids and one Chocolate cyst on my right ovary. I was on pain free for a couple of years. Since the end of 2014 I started having pain before my period then it lasts at least 10 days even after my period flow stopped. Most of time the pain sets on my right lower quadrant, but it could move to the left and middle below the belly button. The pain hurts my waist/lower back and radiates to my right leg. I also get very bloating when the pain is on. My blood test/urine test/Ultrasound/CT/Colonoscopy all came out clear. They found a 3mm calcification in anterior abdominal wall on CT scan but was not sure how it related to my pain. They gave me diagnosis IBS. One doctor told me I might have pelvic adhesion from previous surgery but he can do nothing about it. The pain goes on when my period is due then goes off about 10 days after period ends. It has been a cyclic pain for over a year now. I’m so exhausted taking pain medication in order not to miss my work. I’m in pain 15 of 30 days of every month which is ridiculous. I feel I might have endometriosis but this only can be tested by Laparoscopy performed by Endo specialist. I’m living in NYC area. Anybody has any suggestion? I don’t know what to do at this step. I have been seeing so many doctors but the answer always was “NOTHING!” I appreciate any answers here!!

Thank you so much for the info! It shed the light :) I had robotic surgery removed fibroids and ovarian cyst. They kept my ovaries but found both of follipian tubes were blocked.

It def sounds like endo to me. It is possible that all of the endo was not removed properly the first time.

When you had the endometrioma removed did they drain it? How as that taken care of? Do you still have that ovary?

You live in an amazing area with awesome surgeons at your fingertips.

Dr Orbuch is one of my favourite american surgeons. I met her and have talked to her and know many who have had surgery with her. She cares deeply and listens to you talk.
