Endo? Extreme pain

[CourtneyLeigh3]

So I’ve been waiting for my appointment with a gynaecologist for around 4/5 months, I had my appointment last week. My appointment lasted around 10 minutes and to be honest I was disappointed. The gynaecologist said she felt she did not have to examine me as id been put back on the pill, which is what she would recommend for my problem. I’ve now got to wait a couple of months for a letter to come through to do a scan, she said unless something shows on the scan she wouldn’t put me through for surgery, even though she said that sometimes you can’t pick everything up on a scan? Since I’ve been back on the pill (Rigevidon- around 2/3 months) I haven’t really had any severe pain up until the last 3 days. My gynaecologist told me I need to take a break, whereas when I started the pill the nurse told me I didn’t have to take a break. Last night the pain was horrendous, I was left in a ball crying my eyes out, I take naproxen 500mg when the pain is really bad and also Econcac suppositories. I’ve had to cancel my shift at my work tonight (I work nights as a healthcare assistant) and was told that I should probably cancel my shifts for the week and I’d have a sick note and that I shouldn’t be lifting heavy equipment/people. I argued against this and said that I would be fine for tomorrow as I have been managing fine over the last few months. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to why I’m now feeling this horrendous pains after a couple of months and what I should do if nothing comes up on the scan? Should I just stick with the pill or argue for surgery?

Hi, sorry to hear that ur not having much luck, I've been suffering for over 3yrs and I've just had my first laparoscopy I've got stage 4 endometriosis (more surgery to come) I've had the same thing, manageable pain taking naproxen or codeine but then I had the worst pain ever on my hands n knees on my living room floor not knowing what to do with myself ended up in hospital! It was cysts on my ovaries which they thought could have ruptured, (so it could be this that's giving u the pain), now I get pain all the time, I can tell when I'm ovulating and when I'm about to come on! Its horrible! I now take tramadol when the pain is really bad and I live on paracetamol and ibuprofen, I find sleeping hard, sorry for the long reply and probably not much help but just want you to know ur not alone x
