In relation to condition and prognosis there is also a large measure of agreement. The experts agree that she has severe and extensive pelvic adhesions as seen during the two laparoscopies. The experts agree that the Claimant currently experiences dyspareunia and dyschezia, and that she has reported chronic pelvic pain to Mr Slack and Mr Raine-Fenning. I am satisfied that she does have chronic pelvic pain. All agree that she does not suffer from painful periods, or at least periods which are any more painful than prior to the events of 2016. I accept Mr Raine-Fenning’s opinion in cross-examination by Ms Campbell-Clause that this rules out the possibility of a co-morbidity with endometriosis.

The experts agree that the Claimant’s current pain symptoms are related to the effect of the chronic PID, the development of a tubo-ovarian abscess with acute exacerbations, and associated adhesions. I accept their evidence.
