I'm not a doctor, I've just been dealing with this disease and misinformed Drs for 30 yrs. If you're satisfied with your care, great!

If not, read everything at the Nancys Nook Endo group (medical sources cited) on fb and see if you need a second opinion.

...um....yeah. "(patients are commonly told they have pristine uterus tubes and ovaries and do not have endo, these are statistically the least frequently involved tissues)" --Nancy Petersen, endo advocate and nurse to Dr. David Redwine. x.com/nancynursez6...

Sorry if you've already been over all of this. I just hear too many stories of people who have been told they didn't have it. Only to have another, more qualified surgeon look and say they do.

Even "minimal" endo tissue can cause great pain. Was this surgeon an endo specialist? Some gyns don't know how to identify endometriosis in its different appearances. A neg biopsy from one site is only that site. No endo on your ovary does not equal no endo on your bladder, for example.

I'm so sorry. I know that sinking feeling I got after my last surgery. The worst was when the nurse came in and said with a big smile, "No endometriosis! That's great!" and I started crying and said, "Then why am I still in pain?"
Have they checked for adenomyosis?

Great episode, guys! I'm late, but I have to share my song for the episode. Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer:

Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
*Take my hand* and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer!
😎

I'm so sorry I missed it! I got the days confused. But you got my money, and that's the important part. 😄

I have read the KnowYourMeme page, and now I am 'hip to the jive.' And of course saying that means I am totally NOT.
