i had endometriosis, and altho it was painful it was not that painful. i never had to take any pain meds for it.

i had a laparascopy in 86, now that was painful. during it they removed some cysts.

then in 96 it was back with a vengeance, a little more painful, still no pain meds needed (most of my other pains hurt a lot worse). however, i was losing a lot of blood and had big clots coming out. i started getting nauseated from taking bc pills to fight it. i was also a little dizzy. i ended up having a hysterectomy with a bilateral salpingectomy and oopharectomy. now that was really painful. the endometriosis had invaded the surrounding organs and the doctor said that i was within a month or two of having kidney failure because my urethra would have been totally closed off. if you are bleeding in your rectum, maybe you have something similar.

i hope you don't need this extreme measure. i was only 40 when this happened and so my bones are old before their time.

so that is my story, hope it helps.
