Chronic pelvic pain

I am writing this out of desperation. Timeline: July of 2023 I had a new sexual partner that gave me HSV2. At that time, all other STI testing was negative. Within the next few months I started noticing some lower abdominal cramping episodes like I had to have a BM and having a BM would cause rectal pain. January 2024: I went to my PCP who referred me to a surgeon for an anal fissure and possible IBD. Took numerous treatments for said fissure that never fully relieved my rectal discomfort. Being discouraged and some health anxiety I would put off symptoms for months at a time/ not follow through. July 2025 i decided that i was going to find answers to this. Had a pelvic CT ordered by my PCP- normal. Referred to gastro/colorectal and told to make appt with my gynecologist. Had to find a new gynecologist which took until December 2025. In December 2025, I saw colorectal/ gastro and had a negative EGD and colonoscopy with biopsies. Also saw my gynecologist, who did an exam, STI, BV/Yeast, and a PAP. All normal. In this time, I had multiple ED visits, CT scans, pelvic US- all “normal”. Requested to be treated for PID and was only given a week worth instead of 2 weeks of antibiotics, did have a rocephin shot also. April 2026- Had multiple visits since I started actively pursuing this. I requested to be treated again for PID based on my continued symptoms. Given 2 weeks of doxy and flagyl but no recephin. Seemed like symptoms improved but didn’t go away and returned after finishing antibiotics. June 2026- Pelvic MRI findings: Small amount of pelvic free fluid, pelvic varicies, and a small 3cm ovarian cyst. Fast forward to a week ago August 2026- Had an exploratory LAP for what my Dr. thought was endo. No endo found during the LAP but she did find some adhesions around my colon/small bowel to the right abdominal wall. Said uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes all looked “normal”. I have daily pelvic pain, back pain, rectal pain after BM, just overall feel “sick”, achy legs.
