A member asked:

Could a large endometriosis implant cause severe back pain?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes, but there is: More than one reason for back pain. It would typically get worse with your period and you may get some improvement with a contraceptive pill but you may need it surgically removed.
