Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
Hi ladies,
thought I'd update you and get your thoughts.
I was told yet again I am a "complexing" case and the pain I am in is unfair (glad he agrees!). He could see the pain I was in, my ovaries were killing me while sitting there, I was fighting back tears. So I have laparoscopy #3 booked in for the 5th of January - 3 in the space of 1 year. I'm not sure if I am relieved or worried. I mean - it's better then nothing, but say they were to find endo again and I have no doubt they will - what do they do? Hormones are a no go now...and it would mean to him laser and excision did not work. I'm very confused - trying to think of it as a positive step and it really is I guess, something is better then nothing.
I hope you're all well
*hugs and love*

I'm sorry to hear that your appointment didn't go as you'd hoped. It can get so frustrating and discouraging, when you know that your doctor is discouraged as well, because nothing seems to be "working".
Do you know what he's planning on doing with this lap? Looking and laser? Or something that he hasn't tried in the other laps he's done this year?
I can see how it's confusing for your taters, when you feel like nothing is going to change with this lap. But definitely try and stay positive about it...the doctor wouldn't do it if he didn't think it might help.
Stay strong hun! I haven't gotten to know you yet, but you have been a huge encouragement to me already from all the posts I've read of yours...I can tell that you are a very strong and courageous woman taters! God's got a plan for this upcoming surgery...and He just may use your doctor in ways you didn't think possible.
Take care,
Mona
I highly doubt if he saw anything he'd laser, He is more likely to excisize it like he did last time.
Im hoping for answers to see whats going on since last surgery. I always hold out hope something works :)
Thanks again!
