Does anyone find crutches useful during very severe pain episodes that affect the legs etc?

Hi, yes I do have to use crutches but my legs are bad due to endo in my spine, is yours there too? X

Hi yes I've used crutches. I get pains in my right thigh and knee. I'm hoping I don't need to use them for a while after my recent lep in may 15.

Hi, From your post it looks like the severe pain in thighs and knee is signs of progression of endo. I just started getting that pain in both thighs and left knees this summer. Very worrying. I am planning to go back to doctor who is clueless about endo and ask for referral to endo specialist. GPs don't like to hear this but i am using @Lindle's post to help me with this.
