Hello, Just Wondering If It Is Possible For Endometriosis To

Hello, Just wondering if it is possible for endometriosis to attach to other organs in the body? I had a hysterectomy in 2000 because of endometriosis, but they left the Ovaries. I had the Ovaries removed in 2010 (they also removed my gallbladder). Ever since that surgery, I have had abdominal pain. I've been to the doctor several times for the pain, and have had several tests done, but nothing shows up. The pain has become excruciating and unbearable and is effecting my entire life now. The pain shoots up my back to my shoulder, keeps me awake at night and doesn't ever completely go away. My stomach looks swollen, most of the pain is left upper abdomin area (right under the rib) and I occasionally get this horrible pain that comes from inside my rectum, and I have on and off again explosive diahrea. They can't seem to diagnose me. I have started also having pain in my lower abdomin as well. That pain feels like it did before I had the hysterectomy. That is why I am now wondering if by chance the endometriosis could have attached to something else and over several years grown and is now rearing its ugly head? They haven't targeted any "female" related conditions, because to be quite honest, they are probably thinking there is nothing else there that can cause any problems. I'm thinking I should question this to see if it's possible that could be what is wrong??
