Good morning, @pinkbubbblez, oh goodness, I cringe when hearing about your recurrence of pain. I used to suffer from endometriosis and you have my deepest empathy. That was many years ago and the only recourse I had was to take birth control. Now most women have laparoscopic surgery and things generally go quite well.

It never occurred to me that endometriosis could return after a hysterectomy so I did a little research and found out that it can! The endometrial implants can migrate to other parts of the pelvic area and regrow, even without a uterus or ovaries. From the article I’m posting for you, it appears it’s fairly common so I’m a little surprised your gynecologist hasn’t considered this! You appear to have the classic symptoms. https://www.newhealthadvisor.org/Endometriosis-After-Hysterectomy.html

After reading this, I hope it gives you a clearer picture of what’s going on and then call your doctor. If your current gyno doesn’t believe you, get another opinion! You don’t have to live in this misery.

Let me know, ok?

I have seen so many obgyn docs I even went to the female hospital cause I couldnt walk I had to be taken in a stretcher cause it was so painful that was 3yrs ago and all they said was that it's a headache in the vigina I was so upset! Like seriously! They didnt do any laparoscopic surgeries to figure out what it could be they pretty much just said here take some tylenol and rest and it should go away. But I will definitely look into seeing a new gyno and see what else can be done today is a bad day I havent been able to get out of bed yet thank you so much for your response! I appreciate you!
