Hi,

I just wanted to know if anyone lives in the Cardiff Wales area, if so it would be nice to meet up for coffee and chat?? I have endo and have had two operations to try and remove it even though I know it will grow back and the scar tissue is even worse to get rid of. My next follow up appointment is Monday and I am afraid I will have to have another operation to at least have some relief from pain even if it is only for a period of time. It took almost 2 years to be diagnosed with this conditions and that was a fight. First operation with the NHS fab staff were really nice but operation did not do much to be far. Next operation went private and then conceived our second child (which I know is amazing) but she is only a year old and the pain has returned started again after about six months and now at the point its everyday again I do not want to go back on Tramadol as I was a complete zombie such a horrible horrible thing for all us women to have. If anyone has any suggestions on pain relief I would be very grateful.

Good morning sammy1506!

We do have an Endometriosis support group which may be of use if interested in the Cardiff area. Please see the link below:

endometriosis-uk.org/cardif...

May I also suggest the free helpline (0808 808 2227) or the online support groups we run if you are unable to venture out:

Take care and I wish you well.
