Something good from something bad.. Now in need of some advice

[PupleUnicorn]

Evening all!

So on Thursday I had to go to a&e for the severity of the pain I was in through my eendometriosis. I'm already on morphine, ibuprofen amd codeine so it's worrying that I still get such horrific pain... Anyway, I saw a gynaecologist and had a second lot of scans/camera and internal examination, thus having me referred as urgent and recieving an appointment to see the endometriosis specialist tomorrow (my next should of been April 13th with a gynaecologist)

So was just looking on some advice on what to be asking and finding out etc..

My heads a mess with it all now so I'll probably be a blob on the floor tomorrow.

Hello- Thank you for responding.

It is an endometriosis specialist as I checked this out on the endometriosis specialist list given to me in my previous post and then double checked with my gp.

Can I just ask what the difference is? I'm a little scared to know tbh :/

I can relate to medication just not taking the edge off of the pain. I have been through many medication for pain. I then found comfort with 250mg of naproxen 3 times a day, this worked for a few weeks then I needed it upped to 500mg 3 times a day, which again worked really well until the last fortnight when I started to require codine 60mg every 6 hours, then the pain fought its way through that until I ended up with oramorph for break through pain.. Which kinda works but the pain still sometimes breaks through that. I have good days and bad days though.. Today's a good day.. Only needed the naproxen x

I tried naproxen and found it did nothing for me, I also tried Diclofenac and nowt, had them both combined with codeine and still nothing. Trouble I had with codeine is it made me sleepy and couldn't have it during work. So that's when I got put on the morphine patches originally on 5mg then upped to 10mg along with the 400mg of ibuprofen.

I too have good days and bad days where the pain comes through. I think it depends on where you are in your menstrual cycle x
