Does anyone have back pain caused by adhesions from their endo? If so, how were these diagnosed (e.g. during your surgery, etc.)? What does/did the pain feel like? I have a surgical diagnosis of endometriosis, and I'm starting to wonder if some of my low back pain might be caused by adhesions.

Hi;
I also get a lot of back pain from my Endo.
It wasn't until recently that a Specialist told me that I suffered from pelvic floor dysfunction. Apparently after years of painful cramps, my muscles are all tight and are not releasing anymore. I am seeing a pelvic floor therapist t help deal with this problem. This has been why my back and hips have been hurting me so bad.
Something to think about, best of luck to you!
I have the back pain too, but haven't been told specifically why yet. My doctor's say it could be because of the endo. I use a lot of heat pads :) when did they tell you what they were? I have my op coming up soon. Maybe they'll tell me xoxo
