Hello all hope you're well and not in to much pain we here goes

I went out of hours Dr Friday as I was advised to and was told I do have endometriosis just needs to be confirmed with lap which im still waiting for a date well he said I have an infection within my endometriosis and has made it inflamed, the dr that I seen was from my dr surgery and he said that they have discussed my case and tgey know im right as we know our bodies so know when something is wrong, well the question I guess I want to ask is should I call dr again as still feel rubbish and still in pain and still have a temperature? Thank you all xxxx

I would keep bugging them it's unfortunately the only way sometimes to be taken seriously, if you've taken painkillers and there not helping you obviously need something stronger to help ease the pain x

Hi

If you're in pain and have a temperature and they have not given you anything to adequately deal with this - go back and ask for something or further advice.

However, the only way to really diagnose endo is via lap. A doctor can make a good guess but endo sometimes shares a number of symptoms with other conditions. Hopefully when you have your operation you will know for sure.

The drug he gave you was probably an anti-inflammatory called mefanamic acid. You might find a different anti-inflammatory like diclofenac works better. It depends on the person.

Im awaiting for a date for my lap and I hope it will be soon so I definitely know what is up, they gave me antibiotics and told me to come back if still in pain which I am plus is uncomfortable so rang just to make sure I wasn't going to waste there time and they are going to see me at 8:45 as think I need to be checked again/second option. Yeah im on diclofenac as checked the box will let you know how I get on xxxx
