Been to the toilet 4 times and still feel I need to go.

I've had endo symptoms a while now. This morning I woke up and feel my groin hip area on left side feels bruised/pulled muscle sort of feeling. The twinges I've been getting this week are ridiculous & back pain is so severe. My GP appt isn't until 8th Feb :(((( I want answers. I want kids one day I'm scared I can't stop crying its unlike me :(((

Hello. Have you ever had a lap to determine the extent of the endo? If not it may be worth writing a diary of all your symptoms and take it to your appointment and request further tests x

I've got as far as ultrasound next GP appt in Feb so hopefully get reffered for a lap. Xxx

I feel like booking an emergency GP appt. but it won't speed things up will it

Yes - get an urgent appointment!! They may be able to give you better pain meds/something to stop the diarrhea or an antibiotic if it's bladder.

You'll be referred to gynae (ask for an Endo specialist, though in some parts of uk you have to go through general gynae first)

- the referral can take minimum 3-6months, then you'll see someone at the hospital, if you're booked for a lap, waiting lists are up to a year depending where you are.

The sooner you see the gp the better x

Thank you. Not sure why but I been getting twinges/spasms all over my body today. From my groin to ankles to arms to back every where

If you have Endo on or near nerves it can cause spasms as can ibs which you may have as well pet, good luck with doc x

When you say you've been to the toilet four times - in which way? If urinating - you could have a bladder infection. If bowel movement it's quite common around the time of your period to get this with Endo as your tummy gets upset. Either way you need to see your gp - ring the surgery say you're in a lot of pain and need an urgent appointment x

Thanks. Passing stools 4 times today. I'm on the pill & my period ended last Sunday. The pressure in my bowel the last couple days is crazy. The spasms/twinges down my legs are bugging me. I can't sleep or relax what so ever xxx
