Hiya,

I get that too, just like by my diaphragm and I get it like where my waist is too. I don't know why it happens but it does. It really hurts and I usually get it in between the normal endo pains. I couldn't tell you what it is though unfortunately.

Hope it gets better,

Leya :) xx

Have you thought about what you may have eaten on the lead up to these pains. Trapped wind and constipation can be agony! this coming from someone who has had a bowel rupture. I try to cut back on fizzy drinks, red meat and any other foods known to cause wind or are hard to digest. Good luck hun x

I get it in diaphragm too angelswings and its not related to when I eat, almost feels as if the muscle there has gone rigid.... very painful, especially when I cough. xx

I to have those pains. I'm putting itddown to the poking and prodding when I had my lap two weeks ago. Have been taking painkillers for it that helps a bit. I know it sounds silly but I've also found having antacids help ease this. A nurse that gave me that advice but as I said it does easeit. Hope your pains ease soon.

I also get these pains. I have stage 4 endo but I'm lucky in that fact that I only really get pain when I'm on my period. To me it feels like bad heartburn and I used to put it down to amount of painkillers I was taking. But of late it can be worse that the endo pain itself. I boil grated ginger (not the powdered stuff) and have real ginger tea it really helps try it!
