Advice needed

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I found out I had endo about four years ago. I have had lots of different things done since then and in March this year I had a lap to remove the endo. However the pain has gradually been getting worse again. Sorry about the detail... 12 days ago me and my partner had sex and i got a really sharp pain after (which sometimes happens anyway) this was followed by the loss of dark brown blood which has continued for 12 days, until today when it has turned into my period. Last night I started to get what would be really bad pain for me. But this morning it is unbearable I am shaking just writing this post is hurting my arms but the pain in my legs in the worst I have ever known, this morning my legs gave way and I fell over and now I can't walk around my house with having to keep stopping and crying in pain, I can't get up my stairs as its almost like my legs won't lift up to the next step. I feel like such a drama queen and don't want to worry my family, but I haven't ever been in this much pain before I just don't know what I should do. Gem.

I have only just seen this but I really think you should make an emergency appointment to see your GP as soon as you can. I really hope you have done this already as it's Bank Holiday. Failing that I would go to A & E. Seriously, please get looked at. The loss of blood alone would be enough to worry me. Please post and let us know how you are.
