Is it endometriosis!!

[sharona13]

Hi ladies!! I have been back and forward to the docs for the past couple of years with pain in my back and lower abdomen, i also have a persistant pain in my right shoulder blade and the pain is in my hips and right down my legs, eventually got sent to the gynae. Had my first app in February and all he said to me was, your symptoms sound like ibs, come back to me in 4 months!! I am currently taking my medication but im not sure it is ibs as i have been in constant pain since December. Just want to know, with endo are you in pain everyday, like period cramps and is it more severe during ovulation and your periods?? I also feel really sick alot aswell and bloated and tired and i just cant take the pain anymore, i feel as if i am waiting forever for my next app which is in June, should i suggest to my gynae that i think it is endo??

I was told my pain was IBS without them doing any investigations my pain was constant I wasvtold by gynae Dr that as I was 43 and had never had period pains or heavy periods it wasn't gynae pain and discharged. I ended up paying for lap and there was cyst severe endo also on bowel and bladder and adhesions. It also turned out that the Dr who discharged me was endo specialist for North west! To be fair my periods were light my tummy was flat I just had pelvic pain tiredness and dizzy spells and severe low blood pressure also lost stone in weight as my appetite just went - I am now pain free after rad hysterectomy excision of endo bowel and bladder and adhesions sorted fingers crossed it stays that way and best of luck to you with getting sorted and being pain free x

Hi, thank you for your response. I did have a pelvic ultrasound done which they said was fine but no other investigation and i even took myself round to A&E on Tuesday as i work in the outpatient department as a domestic cleaner. I went there in the hope they would do more tests but because my ultrasound was fine and the doc read my notes saying it was ibs she just told me u have ibs go home and take your meds, take note of what you eat blah blah. So i ended up foning in sick because i cant take the pain and nausea anymore, at the moment i feel as if i am about to take a period but i know i wont because im not due until a week on wednesday. I think i will try and see my gp tomorrow and see what she thinks about maybe having endo, its the waiting about for my next gynae appointment that gets me so mad. I hope you stay pain free, good luck x
