Ok what do you want to know. Differentiate....bladder pain much more tender to the touch....endo may be somewhat tender to the touch but not as bad.

My Endo bothered my left side more than right because I have a tilted uterus which is not uncommon.

My but and back and leg would hurt yes! Endo pain did give me some relief sometimes. I did have pain any time in my cycle though which is odd...most women only during ovulation, around period, and sex. I would go through pain just getting arroused.

Yes, leg and back pain can be a symptom of endometriosis, but it also can indicate pelvic floor dysfunction. Below is a good link for more information on endometriosis. I had it, but many docs missed it because of the IC symptoms. Removing it didn't help much -- it may have been there too long and already done its damage.

i'm not sure because my surgery to be dx is feb 8 but so far i believe my most problems are pains running down my right leg stapping pains in my right side lower back pain.
but then again some of this pain could be due to I.C and or my hunner uclers but I guess I will find out for sure Tuesday.
