I have been suffering from chronic pelvic pain for several years, have had 3 surgeries for this, and still suffer daily from this. I am even thinking I have PCOS. I am ready to change Gyne's as I am not getting any relief and am tired of living this way!

That's a difficult question I don't think anyone really knows and I think it kinda also depends on your symptoms.
Personally I reckon it's caused by Trigger Points in muscles
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_point) and an inbuilt pelvic focus for stress.
There's a good book called The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Second Edition by Clair Davis which gives a good introduction to Trigger Points.
Also http://www.pelvicpainhelp.com by Dr. David Wise is a pretty good site. It's targeted more towards men but has a growing female section (http://www.pelvicpainhelpforwomen.com/).
Apart from that hot baths, stretching and relaxation are good for it.
I've had this for about 3 years 365 days a year. The first year was absolutely f*$kd up but after finding help from these sites (my doctors sucked) I've improved a lot.
Hopes this helps you with your pain.
