Inexplicable Pelvic Pain???

This may be an inappropriate question for this forum, but I'm at my wits' end and don't know where else to turn. I have excruciating pelvic pain and have seen every doctor and specialist there is, it seems. I've been poked and prodded so much I'm tired. All my results come back negative which is all well and good but that doesn't solve the problem for me. Recently I underwent laparoscopic exploratory surgery for endometriosis and...you guessed it, negative. My gynecologist says that all's fine, he sees nothing wrong with me gynecologically. Prior, one of the specialists I saw was an internist who, after a barrage of examinations, said the same thing...everything seems to be fine. She's even ruled out Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I've had hysterosonogram, ultrasounds, CT Scans, colonoscopy, you name it.The thing is that I seem to recall that this pain started shortly after WLS 4 years ago and has intensified, so I'm wondering if there could be a connection. My only relief now is contraceptives that my gynecologist prescribed for me. He says I have to use them to manage the pain which I would otherwise have to endure for about 3 weeks out of each month. I'm only 38 and can't imagine taking contraceptives for the rest of my life. Has anyone experienced this problem and/or can shed some much needed light? I know it's not all in my head, but sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy. This pain is real and debilitating. Thank you.
