While reading your post it occurred to me that your symptoms sound very much like endometriosis. Have you been evaluated for endo?
I have a long history with endometriosis. Along with diffuse pelvic pain, one of my worst symptoms was rectal pain and pressure. All the pain I'd endured for over 15 years was finally alleviated once I had surgery with an experienced endometriosis surgeon. His name is Andrew Cook.
Dr. Cook offers complimentary records review and telephone consultations to anyone who is considering surgery. I'd highly recommend you consider sending your records to Dr. Cook or someone comparable for a second opinion.
You can read more about Dr. Cook at his website http://www.drcook.com
Good luck to you.
