Back pain - endo

[Louoakley]

I've yet to be fully diagnosed with endo. I heve all the symptons had scans etc nothing but today I woke up with horrendous lower back pain even hurts to sit down. I've had this leg/hip/ back pain for a while but not as bad as it is today, I just don't know what to do with myself 😥😥 Andy help tips advise would be really appreciated xx

Hiya Just looking at your post after posting mine and seems we are in much the same situation. I am in agony but I think it's an Ovarian Cyst they found back in October. Not sure, like you looking for answers/suggestions really. I am in late 40's and never been told I had Endo, but saying that I have always had very painful periods. I have pain in hips, thighs and very low back, just got hot water bottle and taking paracetamol. Off to GP in a bit, but will be probably told it's period pain and put up with it. My period stopped days ago. Hope you find some relief xx

Hey, see your gp for pain meds and ask for a referral to gynae. The only way to diagnose Endo is via laparoscopy - it won't show on ultrasound. If you really fit the Endo profile push for a referral to an Endo centre

Though in some places you have to be seen by general gynae first.

Hope you get sorted x
