Nearly called an ambulance last night the pain terrified me. I usually can cope well but this was so bad loads on pressure on back and bladder. Felt so sick and hot doc tested wee which showed no infection. I was bascially told deal with pain till lap on 26th sept. I have had a huge cry today :(

Go to hospital hun. They should never tell you to just deal with the pain. I have stage 4 endo & have been in & out of hospital with pain & infections. I ended up being blue lighted to hospital in an ambulance a few weeks ago as I was having chest pain & they suspect that the endo may be spreading to my chest. Its not worth risking leaving it- & sounds as if you need to be properly checked out & given help with the pain.

Best of luck hun xxxxx

Thanks for the reply I went to urgent care and he said iy was not a water infection maybe I was preggy. After telling him I have been in so much pain sex was the last thing in my mind for months now it would be a emaculate conseption he laughed and said U would be surprised Idiot. I then tried my gp who over the phone said it sounds like endo on bladder wall wow he must be superman to see that over the phone. I will see how I am Monday the back pain is like labour pains. What more can I do xxxx

Not being sexist but male doctors are the worst to speak to about endo problems lol- they dont understand. But the endo on the bladder kind of makes sense- I have endo on my bladder as well as all over my uterus, ovaries, bowels, rectum & abdominal cavity wall & the bladder one does cause me problems. They still should have checked you out properly though. Only thing I can suggest is hot water bottles, plenty of painkillers & rest. Also when you go to the supermarket get a jar of Tiger Balm Red- it will help the back pain & you can use it on your tummy too. I have a blog with some other stuff that mite help:
