I went to see the gyne team today and to my relief, i am not imagining this whole thing!! I went to the GP a while back to see if he could shed some light on
what my lap had found and he said he could only speculate that, if they had taken a biopsy, they must have found something and prescribed me some oramorph.
Anyways in clinic today, i saw the consultant and he said that the lap had showed wide spread adhesions and their feeling was it was endo... he went off to get

<br>
I&#39;m hoping that someone can give me some advice as I really don&#39;t know what to do, Here goes:
<br>
<br>
Over the six months whilst on the Zoladex &amp; HRT, I&#39;d been keeping a diary day to day so that when I returned to see the gynae at hostipal and my Dr,
they would be able to see how I&#39;ve been responding to treatment or not. While on this, for the first 3 weeks everything worked really well, no pain from
either sex-bowel or bladder movements... ]]></description>

Sorry for the emotional outburst that is to follow but I just need to share how I&#39;m feeling in a place where people will understand me.

I had mild endo removed with a lap in October 2008. Prior to the lap I had been experiencing excrutiating pain during sex, back ache, painful ovulation etc
etc.  The lap was successful in removing all of the pain and I was thrilled but it never really addressed my own personal issue with sex.... ]]></description>

Does anyone know what the current waiting time is roughly for a laparoscopy at New Cross Hospital Wolverhampton? My girlfriend (and I) paid to see Chris Mann
