Hi Hunni it sounds like your really going through it feel for you, I had really bad periods from age of 11 ibs diagnosed at 13, I'm 43 now and since then any pain I've had over the last over 20 years has been put down to my bowels I've had suspected appendicitis only over the last few months have I really started to get even more horrendous pain in right side, the radiographer says I have adenomosis and also my right ovary is not mobile, having horrendous days of bowel problems with pain in hip and back, is this how you feel and can sympathise with your hormones feeling emotional and fatigued a lot of time, this kind illness isn't looked into quick enough as doctors are quick to dismiss it, really hope it all goes well for you x x

Yes me too, complete turmoil as to whether to have more surgery which has a high chance of making adhesions worse. I have right sided pinchy burning gnawing pain which effects my right hip down my right leg, low back pain and stomach and pelvic pain.

I have tried Zoladex injections, Mirena, Hormone therapies, pain relief, investigations, surgery after surgery and now I am menopausal and in theory endo dies off but the adhesions form where inflammation has been leaving you with sticky scar tissue adhering adjacent organs together. My ovary has been stuck to bowel and stuck the other side of my pelvis too, Even the fallopian tubes which were removed due to endo damage, stuck. The stumps glued to my ovary and bowel and endo and adhesions moved into my stomach. I have Diverculitis, small Hiatus Hernia, Prolapse and some arthritis in my right hip so I spend many a dark night lying awake twisting and turning in pain, wondering 'maybe it's this, maybe it's that' and if I have more surgery it may worsen adhesions but then again it might ease the pain, who knows! The Gps also seem to be scratching their heads as to my best next move, it is horrible not knowing what to do next. Meanwhile I am left in pain with symptom after symptom, fatigued and utterly in despair.
