Pains started again for first time in 3 months

5 Replies

The last 2-3 years I get sharp pains in each side of the groin at the top of legs. And pelvic area in general. Flutters of pain in my lower back to. It could last a week or weeks then I won't get it again for a while. Could this be endo ? I've had an ultrasound which showed no signs of endo. I am on the pill and today my symptoms have started after coming off my period yesterday.

These pains in my groin when i walk could well be related to endo but me and my sergeon belive it could be my pelvic congestion that is causing this..

Hope that helps in some way😊

Thank you. Yes I'm aware the ultrasound would of not showed it up but they said its ruled out other things. I really struggle getting time off work so really concerned if I went for a lap getting a couple weeks off work would be an issue. I find it strange I might not get any symptoms for months then out of no where it comes back again and gets me really down. I don't no what to do next. :(
