Chronic pain

Hi everyone

I've been having lower right pelvic pain since December. It has always been on and off however this past month I can't go a day without it and the pain is worse than what it has been in the past. Can this happen with endo? I'm currently waiting to go see a gynecologist regarding if I have endo

Thanks x

Hello I'm sorry to hear that. I found out I had severe endo about 2 years ago. I had been having horrible bleeding and strange pains before that. Think I had a ruptured chocolate cyst that started it all off. By the time diagnoses I had pain from ovulation for 2 plus weeks until my period finished. Then it went to everyday. I had MRIs and an operation and I have loads of adhesions from the inflammation. I think this causes daily pain as I still have it nearly every day now and it doesn't respond to the hormone treatments. I hope they can help you. Good luck with everything, let us know how you get on. You can buy ibuprofen with codeine in over the counter, that helped me in the beginning xx

Thanks so much for your response.

Oh no it sounds like you've had a tough time with it. Hopefully they can find something for you that can stop the pain in the long run too!!

It's so frustrating having to deal with this everyday and it just feels like no one understands what your going through.

Did you have any issues with bloating and the pains aching into your legs?

I can't wait to go and see the specialist in just trying to get my head around what's going on with my body.

xx
