is there anything I can do????

I really am at the end of my tether with things at the moment I had my first Lap to remove endo of my POD and my US ligaments on the 5th Sept. I had a lot of pain before, but since the operation the pain has got a million times worse. Before I was in pain maybe 70% of the time, now im in pain 100% of the time. I haven't had a day off pain/painkillers since the surgery

So its an unusual situation.....I am a professional snowboarder, and Im due to go an do one last season competing before I retire (im 29, but been told I cant leave it any longer for babies, so want one last blast at it!!). So I dont start fertility treatment until May next year (clomid?). BUT, I dont want to go on the pill or anything like that because if I conceive naturally then that would be amazing, wouldnt have to go through all the fertlity stuff. Seems so silly to go on the pill if i struggle to conceive anyway. Although I was told the pill would help with the pain

I just dont know what to do Is there nothing else that can be done to help the pain in the mean time???? Is this normal for more pain after the surgery to remove endo?? I have been to the docs a couple times but they just send me away with more painkillers. I thought they would want to find out whats causing the pain? What could it be??? Havent got a urine infection, not constipated!!!

I feel so low, I really dont know what to do or where to turn. Im fed up of trying to put on a brave face. Not even sure i will be able to travel and compete feeling like this

Hi, I use herbal stuff and diet and find it helps. Agnus castus and evening primrose oil seem to help the pain and I have peppermint capsules and drink peppermint tea for the bloating and bowel side of it. I had endo removed from my POD back in March and was ok for the first couple of months until my pro stap injection war off then I was worse than before my op. I hope this helps but check with the health food shop before you take it as some people can't take it because of other medications they are on x

aw thank you, these are good ideas, im def going to try them. I used to do lots of herbal things a couple of years ago but stopped as none seemed to work. But didn't try these, so thank you. Hope you're ok and not in too much pain x x x
