Today is the first day of my period which is always bad but this has been a nightmare. I've had a new pain - low down on the right hand side, radiating into my groin and down my leg, with these areas also getting pins and needles at some point. I was dx with endo 11 years ago, an MRI in December showed adeno and my uterus is now retroverted. I've been off the pill for about 18 months as 20 years of differing hormonal treatment had screwed up my hormones and cycle. I don't really want to go back on it before the lap I will hopefully have later this year as from previous experience it makes it harder to see and remove.
I'm on high doses of morphine which didn't touch the pain. I took tramadol, voltarol, paracetamol and more oramorph and eventually fell asleep for two hours. I've woken up and that pain is gone. I tried pressing on the area which didn't make the pain worse.
Has anyone ever had pain like this and know what it was? It was full on 9/10 pain (I almost lost my arm once in an accident and that was 10) and I was close to going to hospital before I zonked out, thanks to all the painkillers. I am so scared of it coming back.
Any ideas? If it comes back I will see a doctor, just wondering what it could have been.
I had low right sided pain which landed me in hospital for a week, however I can't help on diagnosis as this pain was the leading factor in me beginning a trail to endo diagnosis. I have a retro vetted uterus, kissing ovaries and large cysts. Gynae believes severe endo with possible bowel and bladder involvement. Currently waiting for MRI before operation can be carried out as they need to know if they need a bowel surgeon.
Best of luck with your surgery - I know how scary the not knowing is, I hope you get some answers soon. The findings do sound like endo is the most likely cause x
