Really been in a lot of pain these last few days in the pelvic region. No pain killer seems to help. Heat helps a little but temporarily. Just can't get comfortable. ust under 3 weeks until my op to remove endo, it really can't come soon enough!!!

Have you tried a TENS machine? I take mine everywhere! I also use heat patches.

Have you tried Tramadol ?

Yes I have a TENS it does distract me from the pain for a bit. On the Tramadol today but just makes me spaced out! Also on amitryptiline which at least knocks me out for the night.

What heat patches do you use? I'm lying on my plug in heat mat in bed now which is a god send! Couldn't be without it.

I could cry tonight the pain is really sharp in my pelvis at the back and into the hip and down the right leg :-( I had a few good days last week but since Sunday it's been awful.xx

Oh cat....I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain.

The heat pads I find most helpful are the thermaCare ones. Especially one called the heatwrap. It literally wraps around your abdomen like a big bandage!

Thanks think I'll try and get some. My pain is mainly at the lower back/ pelvis region. Managed a patchy sleep so prob need a nap today. Hope you are feeling as well as can be.xx

Have you tried an old fashioned hot water bottle? I usually use one or two of these before heading for the co-codomol. Also, although I can't use it, have you tried using ibuprofen?

Thanks Bb11 yes I love my good old hot water bottle, using it now in fact. Can't have ibuprofen hun as I'm on naproxen daily. I think I'll have to go with everything I already have but always hoping there is something out there somewhere that I've not tried. Lol.x
