Any expertise? Waiting on lap...

Hi all,

I had a gyn appointment this week, transvaginal ultrasound showed all clear and everything looks healthy... However does anyone experience bad groin pain? Sometimes this radiates into my leg but it seems my groin pain is the worst thing so far! It's like a sharp digging pain that alternates with a pulling ache. I mostly have constant pains as opposed to menstrual related issues... I have hip pains that are sharp and sometimes feel like they're trying to expand, the groin issue and lower back pain... So pretty general pelvic... I also noticed pain during deep sex (sorry lol) yesterday yet again but no bleeding which is a good thing for me. Does anyone also find moving around alleviates some pains? I went out shopping for the first time in nearly 2 weeks today and my back and hips weren't too bad, I still got the occasional groin ache and stab here and there but it seemed to be better, yet returns when I sit! Could this be endo considering it's mostly aches and pains I get as opposed to heavy painful periods? I'm waiting for my lap, been told 6-8 weeks... Can't come soon enough, the anxiety of whatever could be wrong with me is driving me mad.

Hi, I think it could be endo, ive always had light periods very painfull but short and light, I get groin pain a leg pain, aches, and my bum cheeks ache, hopefully you will get some answers, are you having lap done by a genral gyne, or at a bsge centre, certain endo types and locations are only supposed to be excised by a specialist endo surgeon, is your lap just diagnosic or have they said they will excised/remove whilst in their, good luck, xxxx

Thank you for your reply. I do have those pains, mostly in my groin and hips at the moment but back pain and sometimes sharp pains in my bum. I'm having it done by a regular Gyne at a small private hospital, so I do worry if it may be missed but she did say if there was any present she would remove it xx
