Surely you should argue that it would be better to remove what is causing you the pain so that it will give you some relief for a while, and some may not even grow back. I was in your situation at your age. I am now 23 and have had my first lap and wish that a doc had offered it to me earlier. Also for me, a large amount of the pain has gone now. I know it isn't necessarily permanent, but it's an operation that you heal quickly from and it really does you good!
It sounds like the pain since your episode is due to the inflammation, as Stacie M said.
If I were you, I would really push for a lap and get it out and lasered, which should stall or stop some regrowth and make you feel much better. I would say that going on Lupron when you're so young is FAR MORE drastic than keyhole surgery that takes an hour or so and in a couple of weeks after could allow you to feel loads better!
Think about it xx
