Thanks ib! Interesting and painful stuff you've gone through. I guess and hope I will get some definitive answers after the pelvic MRI. This has been going on since Nov and I'm really weary of it. I appreciate your opening up and sharing your story w/me.

I wonder if I'm just supposed to say "Hey, I'm going to be 55 this yr and maybe I have to live w/it." But, first I need to find out the cause of the pain.

Oh and I see your'e a new member, so a big WELCOME to NT...

Thanks for your input Jo! I will check out both of the links from you & Shell.
