I have had 3 surgeries to remove the endometriosis, the last one was to remove the uterus. When the surgeon opened up he found my uterus wrapped within my bowels, he had to scrape the endometriosis from my bowels. I have been in more and more pain over the last few years, I'm currently taking 500 mg. of viccodan 4 times a day for 2 years for back pain they can't find a reason for. When the last operation occurred the surgeon said I shouldn't have been able to stand upright because of the pain, most of which was in my back. When I suggested that this might be a problem now the doctor said the endometriosis could not come back because it needed hormones to grow. My repley to that statement is this. First I had one ovary removed, then the other, then my uterus. When I had my uterus and no overies or natural hormones the endometriosis grew the most. Could this stuff be growing on my bowles and causing terrible back pain? I hate taking the viccodan and just want my life back....HELP!!!!!
