Answer 1

Please check out the Yahoo Research group--- Endometriosis Research Center (ERC Yahoo group). You will find out the problems, pains of women similarly situated as you. They will refer you to doctors, insurance, medicines, vitamins. They say to feel pain when we menstruate is not normal. So, please check them out to feel enlightened and have a worldwide support and cooperative group. They are a bunch of very caring and sincere people. There are professionals who offer help too, part of that group. Smile!!!

Answer 2

The pain in your back and the pressure make it sound like an ovarian cyst to me, those are the symptoms I had. Unfortunately my doctor didn't realize that's what it was until it was large enough to need surgery. But if it's small (they usually are) they can just be shrunken with birth control pills. Make sure it's a good gynecologist too, the first one I went to was clueless. I'm sure it will be fine :-)

edit: Have they done a sonogram? Because if they haven't, I would say find a doctor who will, if mine had done that it would have been caught early.

Answer 3

You sound exactly like me! I have Endometriosis, which needs to be diagnosed by your OB/GYN.
