Have you ever done physical therapy? They tell me that my back pain was caused by a week core. I just wanted to mention also because I am undergoing IVF now about surgery for endo and infertility. I don't know what your financial situation looks like, or your health benefits situation or if you are thinking about havings kids now or soon. I would try to find a Creighton fertility specialist in your area and they don't just sell IVF like a lot of fertility clinics do. The consultation costs a couple hundred dollars and they can run you through a laproscopy/hysteroscopy procedure where they can give you a good idea of what the endometriosis has done with your uterus and fallopian tubes. The reason I say this was because last year one of the fertility doctors/RE went to do surgery to fix my fallopian tubes. My tubes were already too far gone. My tubes had adhered to my bowels and were not fixable. You should try if you can to assess if your fallopian tubes have not been destroyed and if they can go in and clean up the endo and the tubes and try to get pregnant right after they ok sex. They can also run some blood work to tell you how well your eggs are functioning. We are on a tight budget and found out my eggs are not producing good eggs. You can do egg donor but that is really expensive or you can find a clinic in your area that has embryo donor that is 1/4 the price. However most embryo donor programs have long waiting lists.

The only thing that relieves my back pain is CBD. I found someone that makes it close to me that is mixed with olive oil. I take about 5 drops and the pain melts away. Look into CBD if u can.

That sounds awful :( How have you been able to sleep? I've had some issues with my back and physical therapy was really helpful. Even after being discharged, I continued many of my home exercises to maintain my progress and it made a difference. I also have a TENS machine and it's pretty helpful. I so hope the doctor finds what's causing your pain and that you get some relief soon 💛
