I have so much pelvic pain that I don't know where to start, so I will type up what I wrote down for my doctors.
* Pain in various pelvic and abdominal region, mainly on the left side.
* Pain from my anus that goes to my belly button in a U shape - Very sharp like someone takes a hot, sharp U shape sword and is trying to rip me open.
* Pain around left pelvic region and around pelvic bone - Sometimes very sharp, usually just a dull throbbing pain.
* Pain during and after sex. Cramp like feeling sometimes it feels as if I am bruised on the inside, like my partner poked my insides with a stick ( the inside parts he can't reach with his penis ).
* Cramping in my left side that is not associated with my menstrual cycle.
* Severe cramping during and at least one day after my menstrual cycle.
* Pain during bowel movements, again like I am being ripped apart.
So that is where my pain is, at least the pain likes me enough to stick to those areas of my body. But still I wish it didn't like me at all.

Have they done any pelvic scans on you yet? Ask the doc about possible diverticulitis. Also, There is the possibility of Ulcertive Colitis?
I know you are stuck with Tricare, but maybe you can get a god enough doc who will do a Barium contrast MRI or CT scan on your pelvic region.
We'll be here with you every step of the way getting this diagnosed, and vent and swear as much as you like, so you don't feel as though you are dumping it all on your other half.

In 2003 I was diagnosed with both as well as endometerosis, when I had my second laparoscopy they didn't find any signs of any of those, just the adhesion that attaches my pelvic sidewall to my colon.
The surgeon I saw a week or so ago does not want to remove the adhesion because it might not alleviate my pain, my gynocologist was discussing removing my uterus to help with the pelvic pain that isn't associated with the adhesion. I go back to the surgeon next week and if she doesn't want to do surgery on me I will seek out a second opinion because I cannot live the rest of my life with the pain that I have. It has already cost me years of my life and I do not wish to continue this way for the rest of my life.

All I can say is that every single person I know who has had a hysterectomy is happy with it. Even my friend who had a bout with cervical cancer and lost her uterus in her mid-twenties. She's got two sons and once in a while, she wonders if she'd ever have a daughter, but she said that's a fleeting thought and she's happy not having the monthly issues that come along with it. (I beg my doctor for one every time I go in, but that's another story).
Good luck with whatever they do to help.

I have absolutely no advice or insights, but I just wanted to say "that sucks".
