I had my surgery 4yrs ago and yes the pain has stopped for the most part because they removed a rectal vaginal cyst that was causing a big portion of the pain.  Also I was put on lupron for 6 months and have been on the continuous birth control ever since.

I too, was diagnosed with Endometriosis, I was unlucky with the treatments however, most of the brith controls they put me on, aggrivated the Endo, instead of making it better. I am now 1 year free of Birth Control, and have never felt better, also trying to conceive.
I hope the treatment they have you on works, and that your pain goes away, no woman should ever have to deal with this.
